Best Version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"

[Althetuna]

I think Knockin' on Heaven's Door is one of the finest songs ever written. One of the hallmarks of a great song is the ability for the song to be played in many genres. Such is the case with this song. There are three excellent versions recorded that I am aware of. Pick your favorite:

• The Bob Dylan's orginal folk influenced version Bob Dylan-Knockin' on Heaven's Door - YouTube
• Eric Clapton's reggae influenced version Eric Clapton
• Guns & Roses slow metal version Guns N Roses - Knocking On Heaven's Door - YouTube

One word: Axl

Not Bob Dylan. Dude could write the **** out of a song, but listening to him sing is like being at the Dentist office.

And listening to Axl isn't? Neither one of these would get my vote for vocalist of the year.

 

[Mr Janny]

no option for Ladysmith Black Mambazo? lame.

Clapton

My poll, my selections. I'll consider you a "other" vote.

How is this even a contest? There is one acceptable version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and it's the original.
