Bruce Springsteen put out a version of Born in the USA as a 12" single. I think it was produced by Rick Ross. Lots of vocal reverb, huge drums, big production. Really interesting relic. I bought it but don't have it anymore.
Same song by same artists that are different

Young the Giant has an acoustic version of The Walk Home that's outstanding.
We could saturate this with Beatles alt-versions, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm going to ponder outside of that and maybe add some later.
The 2nd version of this one wasn't really recorded on an album that I am aware of but he did re-record it with a different feel to it just for the Yellowstone TV series. I tend to like the updated version as it feels a lot more "rustic" than the original.
Same song, done 30ish years apart from original.
The original has kind of a younger person's wondering perspective, and she found a way to flip it into a slower, retrospective one. Imo genius.

Dylan has always reworked songs into whatever vibe he was riding out.
Not sure if this counts, but growing up KGGO played "And She Was" by the Talking Heads. I really liked the song, and eventually I bought the CD. To me the sound was very different. I guess the version I remember hearing KGGO was the E.T. version. (most noticeable difference starts at 2:31).

This has the potential to be unpopular since it's counter to their primary mission, but Slipknot's Vermilion Pt 2 is so much better than Pt 1. It just works so well slowed and stripped and unplugged. It's a side of the group people wouldn't expect.
Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now. The original 1969 version vs. the 2000 version. I prefer the 2000 version.
I know quite of few artists did unplugged but I actually grew up on on that one more than the original.
Posted it too.
The 2000 one hits harder now as I think about my parents getting older etc.
It's one of those things where knowing the first version makes the later one really transcendent.
David Bowie, Fame
1975 Young Americans album version...
Fame 90 was a remix he did for his 1990 Sound+Vision Tour.
Not sure which I liked best? Saw the first version in the '78 Heros tour at The Forum in LA and then the second at Dodger stadium in '90, the Sound+Vision show.

While I like the piano in the original, the haunting vibe the choral version takes it up a notch
