What is your favorite Bob Dylan cover?

Include links to the MP3 files or YouTube videos for bonus points.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Though it's hard to surpass the master himself, I think The White Stripes cover of Love Sick is pretty intense and masterful. It's awesome how this song lends itself to the Stripes' straightforward guitar rock so well.

Wow, I can't believe they did a cover of Love Sick! One of my favorite Dylan songs. Mahalo Answers FTW!

Many good ones come to mind, including the Byrds cover of "Mr. Tambourine Man." But you have to give props to Jimi Hendrix, whose cover of "All Along the Watchtower" impressed Dylan himself so much that he switched the song to electric guitar at his own performances!

Weird thing is, it worked at first. It was only when I came back to the page that I noticed the error...Agreed, you should definitely be allowed to reply to a video with another video.

Oh, how could I forget Shatner's reimagining of Mr. Tambourine Man"! Of course!

Lon: It seems only answers support videos, not comments. We gotta fix that for launch.

Always tempting to just say Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower." But I'm also really partial to the Neil Young version of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues." I also once saw M. Ward do a live take on "Buckets of Rain" that was pretty stellar.

The thing with Dylan songs is that it seems like sometimes he wrote them for someone else to perform. Neil's JLTTB is the perfect example.... feel like Neil wrote this in the 80s, not Dylan in the 60s!

Not a cover really, but I like Weird Al's "Bob." It's a style parody of Subterranean Homesick Blues.

Yeah, it's from his 2003 album, "Poodle Hat." All of the lines in the song are palindromes - phrases that are the same backwards and forwards.
