I was listening to Jimi Hendrix "All along the watchtower" and then listend to Dylan's version. Hendrix won big time for me!!! So i thought is there a chance that a cover can take a lousy song and make it a great song (my example is not so good since Dylan song is not lousy...) ? Couldn't find any, do you have some?
