All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix, much prefer it to the original version by Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan is the most god-awful singer in the history of music.

He's also one of the greatest writers in the history of music. Personally, I go back and forth on him depending on the song. Some I think his voice fits perfectly, others not so much.

Bob Dylan's voice is kind of like a harmonica in a lot of ways, and definitely an acquired taste.

I still don't think anyone did Knockin' On Heaven's Door better than he did.

There are a few songs of his that I adore with Times They Are a Changin' and Lay Lady Lay probably being my favorites.
