almost anything done by Rod Stewart, or his more recent female incarnation - Sheryl Crow. I don't know if either of them ever wrote their own music.
Sheryl Crow destroyed Cat Stevens' First Cut is the Deepest, and many, many more. I'll probably get banned for life from hubski for saying this... but a cover I liked better than the original was The Sundays cover of Wild Horses:
