knocking on heavens door cover by Guns and Roses

i might have been less angry if you said Clapton's version was better than Dylan's, but Guns? really?

 

[boganxcore]

Charlotte Gainsbourg- Just Like a Woman, originally by Bob Dylan

yea yeah i really really love this song, both versions are really awesome though

and yeah jimi's version of all along the watchtower is better than bob dylan's i think

 

[boganxcore]

Superstar-Sonic Youth (Originally The Carpenters) absolutely amazing, if you never heard it download it, It has a really edgy eerie feel to it, Alot more different than Karen Carpenters voice.

yea i agree that shi is off the hook

Bob Dylan is a brilliant song writer. Unfortunately, most people release better versions of his songs than he does.

I Love PUSA.
Heatbeats - Jose Gonzalez (originally by Knife)

My breath has quickened. He did a cover of Heartbeats? Oh i love that song so much.

His cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack is also very very good. The first time I heard it was on Qantas radio flying into Sydney through the clouds after spending 35+ sleepless hours on planes/in airports and i almost cried...

Also, someone did the most amazing cover of Milkshake by Kelis which I used to have on CD but i've lost it! Can anyone remember the name of the band?

Hey does anyone know the name of that happy song that goes "you drive me crazy with that boogie woogie oogie oogie oogie oogie, you drive me crazy with that boogie, woogie...your lips are hot n spicy...you're knockin' me out wit ur voodoo" etc??

Heartbeats was the first song I heard by him. It's amazing. Teardrops is great as well.

yea yeah i really really love this song, both versions are really awesome though

and yeah jimi's version of all along the watchtower is better than bob dylan's i think

there's something ironic about a woman singing that song. and jimi's is definitely better, crazy guitar solos over harmonica ones any day

 

[Absolutezero]

Unless they're crazy harmonica solos. Those things can go off.

[susstorm]

Passenger - 'Umbrella' (Rihanna)
Rogue Wave - 'Maps' (Yeah yeah yeahs)

[Born Dancer]

Haha, so agreed.

I find it amusing that so many people have said they like covers of his songs better than his own versions.

Also, I think James Blunt did a really good version of 'Wild World'. I like Cat Stevens' version as much, though.

Oh, McFly's version of Umbrella is better than Rihanna's.
