CCR was actually the forth group to play and release that song.Artist and song. Your opinion, no link needed.
I'll start with:
CCR- Heard It Though The Grape Vine (Long Version).
You can't really pick one , at least I can't . I'll just put up Pink Floyd Wish you were here .Pink Floyd
That's a great song ..Depeche Mode's "My Own Personal Jesus."
If you're going ZZ Top , Jesus just left Chicago .La Grange - ZZ Top.
Any Bad Company song would fit the bill.
I'm an old fart and it's good to know that stuff I listened to as a youth is still listened to today.I tried to think of an answer, bit then I realized I've listened to nothing but kids bop songs for the last two years.
