1) "Tangled Up In Blue" (What a song...I've read and heard that Dylan wasn't really happy with it, but I think it's a masterpiece...and his often-maligned singing voice is great on that).

2) "Like A Rolling Stone"

3) "Shelter From The Storm"

4) "Lay, Lady, Lay"

5a) "Mr. Tambourine Man"
5b) "My Back Pages"
5c) "Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)"

I just love the covers of these last 3...the Byrds for 5a, the 30th Anniversary version of 5b (with all the "music heavyweights" on that version), and Mike Ness of Social Distortion with his great rendition of 5c.

do you like this cover more so than the original?

reply

I never cared for Dylan's voice, so yes. The clip is about 6 months before Jerry died, he was in poor health, and you could certainly say his voice is not in the best of shape. But I still prefer it to Dylan :)
