Just so I'm not shitting on Dylan here
Chris Cornell had some great covers before he passed.

Speaking of Dylan, I liked Garth Brooks' version "To Make You Feel My Love" better than Bob's. And I think I like Adele's even more.
Nine Inch Nails, not Tool. As with Hendrix’s cover of Watchtower, Reznor has said this is basically Cash’s song now.
Disturbed - Sounds of Silence. My wife loved this song which surprised me because she was a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan.
Funny this one is brought into the thread. It was brought up on Morning Rush this morning. Travis pooped all over it, of course.
Darius Ruckers Wagon Wheel is a million times better than the original.
No way, Rucker took it and ruined it.
I find it interesting when someone takes a song, strips it bare, and the re-imagined song has a different feel and context.
Cash with Hurt is probably the best example I can think of, but this is cool too. An 80s pop song becomes something different

I like both versions. I don't know if I like Disturbed's version any more, but I certainly don't like it any less. And I am not a Disturbed fan.
I think I may be the only person on earth who doesn’t like it, based on online reactions and social media. The spareness of the original was the whole point.
I know there are too many posts to disagree with them all, Bob Dylan’s vocals are plaintive and it suits his content.
No joke Angie I was thinking of sending you this as an idea yesterday because Behind Blue Eyes has been stuck in my head
anyways, mind would be
"Behind Blue Eyes" Limp Bizkit> The Who
"Sound of Silence" Disturbed > Simon/Garfunkle
"What Hurts the Most" - Cascada > Rascal Flatts > whoever did it originally
"Life is a Highway" Rascal Flatts > Tom Cochrane
