Hmm, you think so? You think it's easier to pick a favorite Dylan song than a favorite Dylan cover? I think they're both equally impossible!
For Dylan songs, did I mention "Lay, Lady, Lay"? "Watchin' the River Flow"? "Just Like a Woman"? "Stage Fright"? (Or was that The Band, I don't remember...) Um, "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go?"
I think it is easier to pick one' favorite Dylan song than Dylan cover. That's because they're all still Dylan. He has much (infinitely) less varitey in his own songs than those thousand other bands who've played his songs.
Hendrix - All Alng the Watchtower Byrds - Pick one PJ Harvey - Highway 61 Roxy Music - A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall Patti Smith - Wicked Messenger
How can you compare any one of these songs to another?
Highway 61 was one of my favorites to hear in concert.
I saw the Dylan/Paul Simon show. They played a song or two together, and I remember thinking that they should've done that song together. That, and "Baby Driver."
