Top 5 Bob Dylan Covers

01Mar10

Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time. Contrary to what his fans will tell you, he’s not the best singer of all time. This makes him the prime target for covers. Here’s some of the best Dylan by other famous people.

5) The Rolling Stones – Like a Rolling Stone

Mick has it wrong; song was not written for them. But good grief I love Keith Richard’s guitar.

4) Jerry Garcia – Simple Twist of Fate

That’s how a mellow song should go. Of course, it’s Jerry, so the song is 16 minutes long.

3) Eric Clapton – Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door

Why? Because fuck Axl Rose. That’s why. Good God, why is Phil Collins’ head so big?

2) K.T. Tunstall – Tangled Up In Blue

If you wouldn’t tap that, you’re either gay or a music-hater.

1) Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower

No, yeah, the greatest guitar player ever will take your song from average to one of the best recordings in the history of rock and roll. He does that.
