Bob Dylan:

Definitive Version

Jimi Hendrix:

Many critics consider this to be the greatest cover of all time. It’s hard to argue with. Dylan himself said something to the effect that this is Jimi’s song.

Has there ever been a more pleasant song? Just makes you feel like your blissfully floating away. I knew a woman who chose this as her wedding song (Brilliant!) but inexplicably chose to use Annie Lennox’s bland version (What the Hell?!!?).

The Rolling Stones:

I’ve always loved this song. Such attitude and verve! It really epitomizes The Stones and how they’ve tried to represent themselves. Highly under-appreciated in my opinion.
