No Quarter - Tool covering Zeppelin is a close second for me.

Eric Clapton also did a pretty good cover of Jimi Hendrix's song Little Wing. While we're talking about Hendrix, Jimi did incredible covers himself of the Bob Dylan tunes "All Along the Watchtower", and "Like A Rolling Stone".
I think Patti Smith did a great cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Because the Night" (actually the Manfred Mann Earth Band did a good cover of Springsteen's "Spirits in the Night" too).
I really enjoy it when a musician/band can take someone else's song, re-arrange it, and then almost make it their own.
