A couple of obvious ones which haven't been mentioned yet (perhaps precisely because they're obvious, I know):
— The "heavy breathing" part of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" was lifted from Kate Bush's "The Dreaming" (the title track).
— The final riff (and even the "ohhhhh...") of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give It Away" was lifted from the Butthole Surfers' "Sweat Loaf".
Both might as well have been samples.
