I completely agree with earlier mentions of "I Fought the Law" and "Proud Mary."
Let me add:
"Jambalaya" - Hank Williams or John Fogerty?
"Night Time is the Right Time" - Ray Charles or Creedence Clearwater Revival?
"The Weight" - The Band or Aretha Franklin?
"Shapes of Things" - Yardbirds or Jeff Beck Group?
and
(Any original blues classic - covered by the Allman Brothers)

I'm a big Byrds fan and I love "Eight Miles High," but Leo Kottke's version is at least as good.
