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:
Dylan admitted Jimi's version is better. I like dylan's version too, a lot. But when the original artist admits a cover is better, well, I don't think you can argue that one

This is one of the very, very few covers I thought was any good. I would almost be tempted to say Hendrix if it weren't for the power Dylan has in it live.

Hendrix puts a lot of shades on his version.

What about the U2 cover on Rattle and Hum?

Even Dylan preferred Jimi's cover.

Are you kidding? Hendrix didn't even get the words right! "None of them along the line / Know what any of it is worth"!

Dylan wrote a great song, but Hendrix was the one to really bring it to the surface. Bear McCreary then topped them all with the version he did for Battlestar Galactica. That one brought out the apocalyptic nerve of it.

Escuche por primera vez la version de Jimmy. No me la puedo imaginar de otra forma

Tough choice cos I like em both. Bob's version just seems to have more of an iritation in the harmonica then Jimi. I'm a guitarist so Jimi gets my vote.
