For me the best cover that took an awful song and made it great was Manfred Mann doing Blinded by the Light.

The worst. Some chick (Sheryl Crow?) covered Cum on Feel the Noise which brought awfulness to a new level. I think Quiet Riot covered from someone.

Van Halen's Pretty Woman is great.

I think Dazed and Confused was a Yardbird song, but if it is I've never heard it to compare.

Metallica's Turn the Page is pretty close to bad.

Speaking of The Yardbirds, their version of "Smokestack Lightning" is killer.
