Hi,

Crazy poll ... Mannfred Mann with no Mighty Quinn?

But, yeah, Jimi's version of All Along the Watchtower will likely be the best of them all ... a truly wonderful design of the use of the guitar in the song.

Also very far out and neat, are Sandy Denny's versions of a lot of Bob Dylan songs ... that should have been in the poll were it better researched!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

He did explain earlier why Mighty Quinn is not included.

Fairport and Sandy Denny for sure did many Dylan covers, but the best one for me isn't on the list

As mentioned, Manfred Mann is not included because I think his version of "The Mighty Quinn" came out before any version by Dylan himself was released (the first one was on Self Portrait if I am not mistaken), so I don't know if it counts as a cover.

Also, I couldn't get myself to include recordings such as this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=l9lCx22zaH4

As for me personally, I prefer the original version of Watchtower. I think its stripped down aesthetics fits the mood of the song better. My vote went to George Harrison.

Special mention here for Manfred Mann's cover of "You Angel You".

It's on the Angel Station (1979) album.
