I like my All Along The Watchtower by U2.

Jimi is unassailable and so are his versions of both those songs

There are other good versions of All Along the Watchtower but Jimi's is the definitive version, the Dylan original doesn't get enough love though.

I wish I could agree with this. I find that every song he's written sounds better when covered by someone else. I just can't listen to him sing.

I don't think any other person on the internet has ever made me say, out loud, "oh **** off" as often

I have my preferred versions above, but Hendrix's versions are good too. I'll listen to either one and enjoy.

Agreed. It is possible for a solo to go on longer than it has to.

I remember reading that Zep used to play Dazed and Confused for up to 45 minutes. Not ever having heard it at that length, I wonder how it could be good.

It's terrible at any length.

It's not my favourite Zep tune, but I won't change the radio station if it's playing.

Mind you, there are some solos so good I could listen to an entire song's worth.
