Re: Covers you heard first. . .
I was around 13 when April Wine started releasing recordings. It was a long time before I knew they were covers
Hadn't heard much JD when I heard this version.....trying to be as objective as possible but I still prefer NIN
When Bryan Hyland covered Curtis, I hadn't heard the Impressions original

Pretty much any cover on a 60s Beatles or Stones album.

Ten years (no YouTube in those days lads) before I heard the original.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

Loads of "Nuggets"-type things, from covers by 70's/80's garage revival bands like Chesterfield Kings, The Nomads, The Cramps, etc.
I still think this Chesterfield Kings recording is better than the original by The Choir.

Beatles covers for me, but really only Not Fade Away and Time is On My Side from the Stones.

Same for me. I might have heard the original 'Shapes of Things' first.

They played the Bowie version of Friday on My Mind a lot on FM radio. It wasn't until a long time later than I knew the Easybeats did it.

Beatles covers for me
Especially Words Of Love (the sound of the lead guitar does it for me every time) and Twist And Shout.
Lots of Dylan songs as done by The Byrds and Fairport Convention.
Theme One by Van Der Graaf Generator.
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 introduced me to a lot of Brazilian composers: Jobim, Jorge Ben, Edu Lobo, Marcos & Paulo Valle, Gilberto Gil...
And, of course:
"Quite."
