I'd say Don't Fear the Reaper, All Along the Watchtower (lyrics and melody so versatile that all kinds of artists leave an imprint with it), Roy Orbison's In Dreams, Always a Woman by Billy Joel, Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols and the Ella Fitzgerald version of Mack the Knife.
Honorable Mention: Yer Blues by the Beatles, All the Young Dudes by David Bowie, Me and Bobby Mc Gee by Kris Kristofferson, Radio by Elvis Costello, Straight to You by Nick Cave, Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, Epitaph by King Crimson
