NotSoBigBen Posted November 25, 2014 Share Hope these werent mentioned before - The Byrds version of Mr Tambourine Man was better than Bob Dylan's;Sinead O' Connor Nothing Compares 2 U; better than Prince's;Elvis Presley's Hound Dog better than Big Mama Thornton's (so i'm told).I know some hippies will want to have me hanged for this but Bob Dylan may have been a great song writer but any cover of his songs would be better than him singing them. Nickelback songs also can only be improved by covers and even then why bother? Pants Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many will agree with you, but some Dylan songs just need Dylan.It's like Neil Young, I love that mans voice and the wife hates it.

deanbean Posted November 26, 2014 Share But then again, Jagger can do anything Not Jagger, the Stones. His solo career was a bit underwhelming, maybe not my type of music, unlike Richards'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onlT4RTuo4o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
