Bauhaus' cover of "Ziggy Stardust" is, IMHO, far better than Bowie himself.
The Sisters of Mercy covered "Gimme Shelter", and I really dig it. Very slow and powerful. I like it better than the Stones.
Red Hot Chili Peppers covered "Subterranean Homesick Blues" on the Uplift Mo-fo Party Plan release. I don't know if it would qualify as a "best remake of all time" but worth a listen.
Oh...Foo Fighter's cover of "Baker Street". Really, really good. Really good. Good stuff.
And I like Veruca Salt's cover of "My Sharona". It really wasn't spectacular, but there was a whole-lot of sexyness in that band, so I'll give them a pass.
