Another example of this is Dale Hawkins' "Susie Q." How many people know that CCR didn't write that song, and how many know who Hawkins is? Spoiler: He was a rockabilly pioneer. I haven't actually heard the original recording, but since I like CCR's version so much, I doubt I'd like it any better.

Not that I'm suggesting Reznor's version will be forgotten, but it will be interesting to see what time will do to each of these recordings.
