Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Elmore James The Sky Is Crying

"Gin n Juice" remade by Phish (not really Phish but thats who everybody thinks remade it).

 

It's The Gourds

The Eagles cover (sorry Jim Shue) of Tom Waite's "Ol '55" and Jackson Browne's "Take it Easy"

 

 

The aforementioned Dylan covers:

 

+ Hendrix' version of "All Along the Watchtower"

 

+ The Band's version of "I Shall Be Released"

 

+ Peter, Paul and Mary's "Blowin' in the Wind"

 

+ The Byrd's cover of "Mr. Tamborine Man"

 

+ Not a hit but off the No Nukes album: Loved the cover of "The Times They are a Changin'" by James Taylor, Graham Nash and Carly Simon

 

:thumb:

 

I guess I'm alone in that I prefer pretty much every Dylan original over the cover version.

Van Halen's cover of the Kinks You Really Got Me

 

:ylsuper: Yep.

Oh good Lord! That was horrific!!! :puke:

 

Personally I really liked it but I must not have the proper ear for music like you! :rolleyes:

Nope, you can count me in as well.

Blinded by the Light!

Loved Springsteen's orginal but have to give a thumbs up to Manfred Mann's version.

Manfred Mann also did a good cover of "For You" from Springsteen that was pretty solid.

Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine's cover of "Turn the Beat Around". Love that Latin beat. :banana:

I like Dylan but the one's I cited, I just liked better. Usually because of the harmonies added to the original and the clear annunciation of the lyrics probably allowed me to hear the poetry and message more clearly. :thumb:

HIM's cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" is pretty good.

If you like the pathetic whining and screeching of Axl Rose you might want to get your ears checked.... :walk:

 

GnR had a great guitarist in Slash, absolutely the worst excuse of a singer in Rose I've ever had the displeasure to listen to.
