Best Dylan Song

[allmy$to930]

Not very Dylanesque...still a great tune that was on one of two of Uncut magazine's free Dylan cover albums last year.

I'm surprised vansmack hasn't given props to the Mike Ness version of Don't Think Twice.

Like A Rolling Stone.  Obvious, but true.

My vote for best Dylan cover would have to be "Nobody 'Cept You" done by 16 Horsepower on their Secret South album. I think the original is only available on a Dylan live bootleg though. It's a beautiful song, I wish Bob would record it himself.

Obvisously my favorite Dylan cover would be "Lay Lady Lay" by Ministry.   :cool:

Sorry, wasn't watching this thread.  I thought it was best said by Rhett "any song with someone else singing" so I moved on.
 
 But thank you GGW, I would have said Ness's "Don't Think Twice" so in my absence, I defer to the masteful GGW to speak on my behalf.

LOL.
 
 Crap! I got the number wrong. See what DC traffic is doing to my brain.   :roll:  It would be better if it were 66. Has more of a DC/Devilish/Rt. 66 flow to it....unlike DC/NOVA traffic.

good simple ?; too bad you gotta have some "cool guys" trying to have a laugh.....
 hands down, dont know but either tangled up in blue or simple twist of fate.....or like a rolling stone? so hard

Well it sounds like everyone one will be going to see Dylan in his new big movie roll.

 "In a fictional America caught up in a civil war that is tearing the nation apart, a benefit concert is being organized. A traveling troubadour named Jack Fate is sprung from jail by his scheming former manager, Uncle Sweetheart, to headline a concert with the expectations to bring peace to a country that is entrenched by chaos, lawlessness and pandemonium.
 
 After months of rumors, whispers, gossip, tall tales and idle speculation, we are finally face to face with Masked and Anonymous, a film directed by Larry Charles with the black humor he brought to Seinfeld and starring Bob Dylan as an aging rock legend who once upon a time wrote songs such as The Times They Are a Changin' and Like a Rolling Stone. Talk about typecasting.
 
 The film also stars John Goodman, Jessica Lange, Jeff Bridges, Mickey Rourke, Luke Wilson, Penelope Cruz, Angela Basette, Giovanni Ribisi, Val Kilmer, Cheech Marin, Ed Harris and Bruce Dern in roles that seem like the lyrics of Highway 61 Revisited come to life, from the roving gambler to the promoter who nearly fell off the floor. Dylan has been cagey about how much of a hand he had in writing the script, but (by inspiration, innovation, or imitation) these characters sure talk like Dylan songs. It's a lot of fun to see what happens when a dark woman from Infidels bumps up against a drifter from John Wesley Harding and a prodigal son from Slow Train Coming."
