John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen" (My own picks for best borrowings/adaptations: Canned Heat, "On the Road Again"; Booker T. and the MGs, "Green Onions"; Sonny Boy Williamson, "Help Me.")
Bo Diddley's "Bo Diddley." (Best subsequent uses of the beat: Buddy Holly, "Not Fade Away," even if it took the Rolling Stones to make it obvious; the Who, "Magic Bus"; the Stooges, "1969.")
Chuck Berry, the theme lick to "Johnny B. Goode."
The Kingsmen, "Louie, Louie" (Which they nailed in the first place by accidentally mis-timing the Richard Berry original, which was actually a cha-cha derivative, and kind of combining it to an earlier take by another Pacific Northwest band, Rockin' Robin Roberts and the Wailers. Best appropriations of that famous duh-duh-duh. duh-duh.: The Troggs, "Wild Thing"; the Rolling Stones, "Get Off My Cloud" [it's there, if you listen closely enough]; Boston, "More Than a Feeling" [listen real close]; the Seeds, "Up In Her Room." Honourable mention, but you have to listen even more closely to catch on: Jimi Hendrix, "Purple Haze," which figures if you knew Hendrix's youth that included hanging at the Spanish Castle club where the Kingsmen and a lot of the legendary Pacific Northwest rockers of the early 1960s held court---Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic" and "Castles Made of Sand" are thought to have been his tributes to that club and the music he loved there . . .)
Lou Reed (for the Velvet Underground), "Sweet Jane." (Best appropriations: Alice Cooper, "Be My Lover"; the Who, "Baba O'Reilly"; Bachman-Turner Overdrive, "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet.")
Can’t leave out La Grange by ZZ Top under Boogie Chillen.
