Wild stab in the dark:

Artist: Bob Dylan
Song: Knockin' on Heaven's Door

But maybe not because the original came out in 1973 on the Pat Garret and Billy the Kid s/track.

Although a live version did come out in 1975, possibly on 'Before the flood'

Its either that or New Rose by The Damned :P

Clever clogs. And I didn't even mention the most famous covers, by Julie Covington and Lita Ford respectively.
