That's the original, Clapton's is the cover
He'll make an excuse why he did that.
dont know about this being "better than the original" but it's pretty incredible
spurraider21 gets it. Good submissions. I don't care much for on Feel the Noise. Some would dispute if VH was better than the Kinks. But I agree. Speaking of VH, I'd also throw out, You're No Good. That ones even more debatable imo. But I still prefer the VH version barely. Now that I say that, I change my mind. Sometime I so crazy.
Even
better
Have you no shame?

His music expertise is similar to his NFL betting expertise
Son House's "Death Letter"
Love both but always really liked how the Stripes made the song their own with their sound.
Jimi Hendrix's cover of Hey Joe is pretty great, the live version at Monterrey is the definitive version to me.
Hearing him sing "Ain't no hang man gonna but a rope around me!" is one of my favorite parts, it takes on a different meaning when a black man sings it, especially in front of an all white audience in the mid '60's

Ok. . Let's limit it to one per artist. You're right though. Hendrix owned that song. It's debatable, but imo, Watchtower is more iconic.
So far I think the top spots are locked in .
Hendrix : All Along the Watchtower
Joe er : The Letter
After that I have :
Buckley Hallelujah
Van Halen : You Really Got Me
The second two are debatable. Hallelujah has been done so many times and done very well. And the Kinks original of YRGM stands on its own.
Pretty sure they are all from Palestine. Just goes to show even the biggest piles in the country can sprout the occasional flower.
Pretty great cover of the Stones' Satisfaction
On of my favorite covers ever. It feels like that laughter at the end is because they know that was rare special in the zone moment.

Voodoo Chile...
I've loved this version since I first saw it when it was broadcast. Brilliant.
One of my favorite live albums ever. Start at 5:00 in for Abraham, Martin & John. The first half is an original but also good.
