Judas Priest got the drop on Joan Baez. Their metal cover of "Diamonds and Rust" wins, for all that her original is achingly beautiful.

Indeed!
A few more to note:
Jethro Tull's Cross Eyed Mary < Iron Maiden cover
Black Sabbath's War Pigs < Faith No More cover
Simon and Garfunkle's version of Scarborough Fair < Queensryche's cover
Judas Priest's Love Bites < Nevermore cover
Tori Amos is great at doing covers from many genres, adding her unique flair to them; she even does an interesting version of Slayer's Raining Blood.
