At least "Moonshiner" and "House of the Rising Sun" predate Dylan as well although I suppose you could say he brought them to the public's attention.
My favorite is probably "I Shall Be Released" by either the Band or Chrissie Hynde or "Ring Them Bells" by Ron Sexsmith, Sheryl Crow and Elvis Costello.
