There's lots of great ones out there, most have been mentioned, so just to add a couple, The Tea Party's cover of Paint it Black is pretty awesome and I just recently heard Pearl Jam's cover of Waiting on a Friend by the Stones and its solid.
So on to the bad, and there's been alot of bad..
DMB - All Along The Watchtower
Marilyn Manson - Pretty much anything he's ever covered has been garbage.
Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child 'O Mine, I already hate SC so this was an easy choice.
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
The Ataris - Boys of Summer
Britney Spears – I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll, one of the worst EVER!!

Why do you think it's bad?
I thought it was pretty damn good - passionate & skilled. DM brings a heckuvalot more guitar-playing ability to that fine song than Bob himself ever did....
I like DMB and they do it well, but Jimi took this song and made it perfection, anything else doesn't compare. So I guess its bad by comparison more than anything. If Jimi never played this song, I would've left it alone.
