Out of those, I'd take the Them (Van Morrison) very, very slightly over Dylan's. Eric Burdon will always be the man who ruined 'War'. Title: Re: Prolly get 'Fredo to vote with me Post by: dystopia on September 22, 2009, 07:53:39 PM I've never heard this song before. (I lead a sheltered life :sad3:)
Definitely prefer the 2nd version on the list (looks like I'm not alone). Title: Re: Prolly get 'Fredo to vote with me Post by: Dunk on September 23, 2009, 09:18:42 AM Dylan's version wins hands down. It's not even close. There aren't too many cover versions of his songs that are better than the original. Perhaps "All Along the Watchtower" by Hendrix.
I like the Joni Mitchell version. I love the way she tunes and plays her guitar. Them's version is good. I love Van Morrison's voice. The Gratefull Dead cover the song well, but I guess that shouldn't be too surprising. I was a big fan of the Animals back in the day although I don't care too much for their version of this song. In my opinon the Animals and the Stones were probably the top two groups that came out of the British Invasion. The Springsteen version is the worst of the lost. Too "jazzy", at least that's what the first couple of minutes seemed like to me. I didn't listen any further. UB, best poll on this forum. Ever. 8) Title: Re: Prolly get 'Fredo to vote with me Post by: tdcoly on September 23, 2009, 05:32:21 PM The first is a great example of the young Bob Dylan with the pure voice.
Joni Mitchell's version is good, too. Title: Re: Prolly get 'Fredo to vote with me Post by: MFAWG on September 23, 2009, 09:29:22 PM No idea who these guys are, but a really nice version here:
