Since all (I think) the really great ones have been mentioned, let me just put in a word for Patti Smith's "The Wicked Messenger," which is merely really good.

Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band: "She Belongs To Me"

― jim wentworth (wench), Saturday, 24 April 2004 02:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Either Fairport Convention's "I'll Keep It with Mine" or The Byrds' "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere"

13th Floor Elevators "Baby Blue"

― sexyDancer, Saturday, 24 April 2004 02:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I love Transvision Vamp's "Crawl Out Your Window".

Guilty Pleasure City, that one.

"Highway 61 Revisited" PJ Harvey

I'm kind of stunned nobody at Def Jux has gotten around to "Subterranean Homesick Blues" yet. Not that it would necessarily be a good idea. Just surprised it hasn't been done.

― spittle (spittle), Saturday, 24 April 2004 06:30 (nineteen years ago) link

nico's "i'll keep it with mine."

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 24 April 2004 06:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Fairport Convention's 'I'll Keep It With Mine', yup.

chocolate watchband - baby blue

― Toon (Skelter), Saturday, 24 April 2004 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Has there ever been a bad version of "...Baby Blue" ?? I've not heard one

Several mentioned on this thread, and Bryan Ferry's is spectacular, too.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Saturday, 24 April 2004 16:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Bob doing "Lost Highway" with Joan Baez in Don't Look Back! (to go the opposite direction)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Saturday, 24 April 2004 16:20 (nineteen years ago) link

them's (their?) version of its all over now baby blue is incredible

― robin (robin), Saturday, 24 April 2004 21:21 (nineteen years ago) link

ten months pass...

Bryan Ferry: A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Sunday, 20 March 2005 20:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Sonny A.: I think Falco's version of "...Baby Blue" counts as bad, yes indeed.

― Douglas (Douglas), Sunday, 20 March 2005 21:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Rod Stewart - Mama You Been On My Mind

(cos Fairport's Percy's Song's already been mentioned)

― James Ball (James Ball), Monday, 21 March 2005 23:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Chronicles would lead one to believe that Bob himself would pick Johnny Rivers's version of "Positively 4th Street."

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 00:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Manfred Mann--"The Mighty Quinn"

Mayfly, "It Ain't Me Babe" From Duluth Does Dylan http://www.spinoutrecords.com/duluth

― Pete Scholtes, Tuesday, 22 March 2005 03:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Reading this thread, I'm embarassed that I've heard very few of these covers, so I have to go with the boring (but brilliant) pick -- "Mr Tambourine Man" by the Byrds.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 03:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Faces - Wicked Messenger

― Silky Sensor (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 03:58 (nineteen years ago) link

thirteen years pass...

I saw a guy do an acapella cover of "Spanish Harlem Incident" three years ago at a very small (amazing) experimental/avant garde venue where I live. I was in the front row so he was like 3 feet away from me. He fucking belted it, stretched it out to 5 or 6 minutes. It was astonishing, I still think about it a lot and just the memory has brought me to tears. I have the poster somewhere, I've gotta find that guy's name and send him a note or something.

Nice! Lucky he chose that song from Another Side instead of Ballad in Plain D.

Hey, Kornrules — I have a question for you

Nina Simone - I Shall Be Released

― J. Sam, Saturday, 7 July 2018 22:39 (five years ago) link

Hey, Kornrules — I have a question for you

Yes? I hope you're not some angry Ballad In Plain D fan.

My OPO from 13 years ago still stands, nothing can top Bryan Ferry's Hard Rain. But another excellent Dylan cover is the band 16 Horsepower who do a fantastic cover of Nobody 'Cept You

“Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?”

You'll have to ask my friends from the prison.

to see if you are really real
