Ditto on Everybody's Talkin' and Blues Run the Game. Still don't think I've heard the original actually.

Heard the Eric Clapton version of Don't Think Twice from the Dylan tribute concert before I heard the original. Still think it's a damn good version.

Heard The Beatles doing Act Naturally before Buck Owens.

Probably heard Elvis doing Blue Suede Shoes first.
