About any cover song that Pentatonix or Home Free does.
For example, Pentatonix does a medley of Daft Punk stuff that's quite a bit better than Daft Punk. They do Rather Be better than Clean Bandit. They do Say Something better than Christina Aguilera.
Home Free, on the other hand, does Ring of Fire better than Johnny Cash--oh yes they do, sez me--and All About That Bass muuuuch better than Meghan Trainor.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
I have to agree with you. Robert Plant was an amazing vocalist, but Ann Wilson's voice is like a force of nature. It just seems to get stronger, which is pretty amazing.
Ann Wilson, at least in my eyes, is without a doubt the very best female vocalist that has ever lived. Nobody has the range or the absolute power and energy that this lade possesses.
That's a good one alright, but try the version with Dave and Warren and Tim Reynolds that was performed at the Gorge in 2011. Almost double the length and double the great guitar playing. I'd post it myself, but can never get the URL copied from YouTube correctly.
Johnny Cash's version of the Nine Inch Nails "Hurt". Trent Reznor said afterward that "Hurt" was Cash's song and Cash had done it the way it should have always been done.
That is the first thing that came to mind as soon as I read the title. Both are good, but Cash nailed it.
PPS, then again there's this one and now I'm confused as to which is the "Best":
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
How about Manfredd Mann's cover of Bob Dylan's "Quinn the Eskimo"?
Goodness, I think I'm getting old.

Ann Wilson does a better job covering Robert Plant than she does singing the songs that made Heart famous. Like Plant, she just cannot hit the high notes like she did in her prime. Age will not be denied.
