This one might get some dissenters...

I'm a Dylan fan but Hendrix is...well Hendrix and I would bet if you asked people who sung this song more often than not they would say Hendrix

This should not be considered a slight against Dylan (I'm sure there are still some old farts like me out there that enjoy his music) but as I said Hendrix was a damn good talented musician

Bob Dylan - All along the watchtower

Sorry, I've only been here since July, probably won't be my last music thread that's already been done.

Thank you for posting this. Classic Country is my thing, but I do love me some Hendrix, I'd never heard the Bob Dylan version before. Not bad, but I prefer the Hendrix version.
