I always enjoyed Bryan Ferry, he is one artist who always makes remakes that are "himself".

Limeys doing Dylan is bound to be controversial, but I'll chip something in:

They've banalized what was once a protest song beyond recognition, mock-"I got you babe" intro and all. Blackmore has done many great musical things in his life, but this isn't among them. If it was sartire, it would be alright, unfortunately it isn't.

Hows this for a protest song?

Maggies Farm by Rage Against The Machine

"Hows this for a protest song?"

Commendable. A worthy effort, B -.

The first version of a Dylan song I heard? This here, and I still like it. She had the credibilty to sing it.

My favorite Dylan remake:

Highlander · March 23, 2009, 05:10:59 PM

Here's my tuppence worth...

nothing like over-kill, peoples...

California used to do a really good version of this one, and he takes the central position here

I used to really like Earl Scruggs - I think I've still got a Flatt/Scruggs vinyl, somewhere...

Anyone know of "The Blues Band" and their version of "Maggie's Farm"...?

Basvarken · March 23, 2009, 05:17:30 PM

There's at least one of them rushing it like hell.
To the point that I can't listen to it for too long...

Freuds_Cat · March 23, 2009, 05:34:46 PM

The Crocs do Maggies Farm, and a pretty rough and ready version of "Obviously 5 Believers"

Interesting choice of notes in the solo lol

Rhythm N. Bliss · March 23, 2009, 07:49:11 PM

My fav is the studio version of All Along The Watchtower by Hendrix, of course.

The studio version of this song is better too, but this is coool:
George Harrison~If Not For You

...with Duck Dunn on bass! & Steve Cropper

...& that smiling blonde guy.

My favorite Dylan remake:

That's IS a great version but I like this Hendrix Rendition of a Dylan classic better because of his sarcastic tone "Look at ye"

Don't slay me for this but Ministry doing "Lay lady, lay" has to be one of my favorite Dylan covers ever. It has a very peculiar kind of beauty, in the way that a girl with tattoos and a Mohawk can be beautiful.
