All Along the Watchtower
That is not an easy choice: But in this case I have to decide in favour of the cover version ofJimi Hendrix. His style of playing guitar is just sensational.
Bob Dylan was impressed by Jimis version of his song, too. So he even once played it during a concert in the style of Jimi Hendrix.
But I can't wait to see how you will vote...

Comments about All Along the Watchtower:
It's close, i love both artists and all of their songs. I think Jimi edges it but some of Bob's songs are better than some of Jimi's. Saw Bob live recently on UK tour and he was great, wish i could have seen Jimi too!

Hendrix just does it better. Even Dylan said himself, that although he wrote it, Hendrix owns this song.

My pick for the #1 cover all time

Jimi is definitively one of the best guitar players of all time... this is an INCREDIBLE song...

I knew this song by Hendrix long before Dylan, and I can't really stomach the Dylan version. Jimi gets my vote.

Jimi. Not even close. It's like he said, "Bob, the lyrics ar great, but you're playin' it all wrong. This is how the sng goes!"... and music became electric and changed forever.

I'm a bigger fan of Dylan than Hendrix by far, but I have to say, Hendrix's guitar work is incredible (as we all know) and the original kind of feels like it's missing something without it. Maybe because I heard Hendrix's first.
