Ole Friend - Great list. I would have added the Shadows of Knight's '66 variation. Some sounds from Sweet Home Chicago blues in there. My dad was the Kay Guitar (and Sears Silvertone) guy, and the band -- along with Randy California of Spirit and Barney Kessel were loyal Kay players. My own 7th grade band, the Lordsmen, also did an entirely forgettable version ...
On Dylan's radio show, he did a bit where he said, "Some people say you can just drop a guitar and it'll play the riff from 'Gloria'," and then you hear a crashing sound and then the famous chords.
Thanks. I left off Shadows because it is version most Americans familiar with. BTW, you refer to "ole friend" but I don't know who you are....
