boyst Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 The list begins and ends with not even close. starts and ends here.
Buftex Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 This is one of my favorites... great singer, making a well-known song her own...and giving it a whole different, but respectful tone...
KD in CA Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I think Tom meant to post this one: http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/video/stephen-colbert-sings-friday-with-the-roots/n17119/
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Dave Matthews Band does a great rendition of All Along The Watchtower.
The Poojer Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 DMB usually does a great job with this song! Dave Matthews Band does a great rendition of All Along The Watchtower. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOaMQ-R9YGM

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Interesting Beatles selection... I was just going to post: (Sorry, I am on mobile, don't know how to post the url directly... Hope that link works for all)
Pete Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Dave Matthews Band does a great rendition of All Along The Watchtower. that can't hold a candle to Jimi's cover and is blaspheme IMO-
Buftex Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz8_H5m6ymAOn the anniversary of Joe Strummers death, was gonna post the Clash doing Bobby Fullers "I Fought the Law"...but realizing we have a lot of Cash fans....I submit this awesome Bob Marley cover of "Redemption Song"...fitting that it was one of the last things either men recorded.

Buftex Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Reminded me of another great one...a very original take on the old Left Banke hit, "Don't Walk Away Rene" by Billy Bragg and guitar
Lt.

Plus, everyone has already heard Jimi's, but maybe not DMB's.

Plus, everyone has already heard Jimi's, but maybe not DMB's. The title of the thread should be tweeked a little. What defines "classic?" When Jimi did it, IMO, it wasn't classic by Dylan. Heck, Jim practically did it within the same year Dylan did it! 1967/68 by Dylan. Dylan and Jimi's came out during the same era and like I said within almost the same year... SO, Jimi made it a classic! The thread should morph into good or better remakes of the original... Drop the whole classic bit. That's a little easier. One song that totally fits that bill is REM's "Superman." Anyway, on the converse and speaking of remakes that are God awful... w/All Along the Watchtower... Anybody remember Jim Schoenfeld's abortion of that song and his equally disturbing album... LoL ?? Edited December 23, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois
bbb Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Dylan actually started playing the Jimi version And, yes - I still have the Schony album. Hey, Bulldog! I saw her Standing There!
