A couple from John Cale's Fear:
"Emily" <-> Brian Eno's "Taking Tiger Mountain" (recorded just weeks apart, as I understand. Dunno who came up with what first; as for the sound, Eno had a lot to do with Cale's song, evidently) -> Rufus Wainwright's "Poses"
"You Know More Than I Know" <- "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" (the bass line that closes each chorus and introduces the following verse is virtually identical to the one right before the last line of the chorus in Dylan's song).
