Jason Smith
Led Zeppelin--In My Time of Dying (ok technically it was a traditional song, but Zep most likely heard Dylan's version first).
Easton Lewis
The Byrds original music was good, but I wish they would have covered entire Dylan albums.
Jason Smith
Ian Hughes
He was pretty cute, desu.
Nolan Allen
This answer was much better than But just because some covers are well done doesnt take away from the originals.
Gavin Hill
Ryder Martinez
No wonder Mick Jagger wanted to fuck him.

Dylan was a GOAT songwriter but only a very good musician.
Daniel Diaz
Because you're a pleb who needs some poppy generic "good singer" to make a song more accessible to you.
Levi Sanders
Sounds like you just don't like the minimalism of folk music and need rock versions of it. You'll grow out of it eventually, just wait until you become an adult.
Ryan Cooper
is this the most disappointing dylan cover?
youtube.com
im not much of a fan of the band's version either. still better than the byrds version though

Dominic Cruz
The walk the line soundtrack version of it ain't me babe is objectively the best
Michael Morgan
Here's my favourite Dylan cover.

Chase Sullivan
Did Dylan write songs? I thought he was a Sinatra cover artist.
Elijah Davis
This is unironically superior to the original

John Perez
The Hendrix version is not better than the original. It doesn't mesh with his instrumental and vocal style at all, which buries and trivializes the lyrics.
Julian Morris
I'll Keep It With Mine kind of isn't fair. Dylan never officially released it back in the day, if he'd continued having retakes of it he may have come through with a better version. That being said, yeah, the Nico version is better than the Dylan recordings.
Evan Martin
Gonna plug in two cover albums of Dylan songs. not necessarily better than the originals but they're still pretty darn good. The first one's by Odetta, who Dylan says was just as much an influence on him playing folk music as Woody Guthrie was. I'm actually surprised no interviewer has ever asked him about it.
Easton Wilson
And this gospel cover album of Dylan's 60s work is aight.
Nathaniel Morris
>Odetta
>him
wut
Dominic Brooks
I mean I'm surprised no interviewer has asked Dylan about this album, since you apparently can't read all that well.
Jordan Lee
Eli Carter
Sorry, I read that wrong. I'll try to give both those albums a listen some time.
Chase Richardson
find me a cover of desolation row that's better than the original
Nathan Cook
hell no The Byrds sucks
Chase Evans
Wait what?
Michael Bailey
My Chemical Romance of course.
Robert Allen
>since you apparently can't read all that well.
It was a simple mistake. Don't be a dick.
Nathaniel Fisher
give me one reason why and then I'll maybe care about your pleb opinions.
>Byrds > Beatles,Stones and Who btw
Justin Nelson
Doubt anyone can do a better version of Positively 4th Street
