Clapton HAve you ever loved a woman.
Actually just get the Clapton Robert Johnson Sessions cd. LOTS of 1-4-5 stuff.

Careful you may not wanna play anything else...
I'd just add to be careful of Robert Johnson originals: his rhythm and counting is very idiosyncratic: not only is he unlikely to stick to exactly 12 bars, but he may not change chord very clearly either; often he just hints at changes.
For the OP, I'd say rock versions of those songs are better for ear training purposes.
