All Along The Watchtower by Jimi.

I might be the only one, but I always preferred Dylan's version. That's just me, though.

 

 

Also, most covers of George Harrison songs seem to be better than the originals. Which isn't a dig on the guy, he was a great composer and a terribly under rated guitarist, but most of the covers I've heard of his songs seem to blow the originals away.

I don't know how many songs have been covered or by who, but have you seen Concert for George? If you haven't, definitely pick it up (that's what I was using as a reference. All of the covers they did of his songs were phenomenal!)

The Yardbirds remake of Smokestack Lightning By Howlin Wolf ( Chester Burnett)

The Yardbirds remake of Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters

 

The Yardbirds - The BBC Sessions = True Greatness

Wow another Yardbirds fan. They are few and far between. I thought for sure someone would say Aerosmith's remake of "Train Kept Arolllin," which I personally didn't think was anyway near what the Yardbirds did.

 

I believe the BBC is a compilation, isn't it? There are a few cuts from my favorite Yardbirds album "Rave Up", of which Smokestack LIghtning is one.

 

BTW, if you haven't heard it, get a listen to Birdland. Basically it is a remake of their some of the old Yardbird stuff with guest guitarists. There are also a couple of new songs which are very good. Makes you really wish they were originally recorded with a little bit of fidelity. The other odd thing about the album is some guy from Queen is the steady lead singer, lead guitarist ( I forgot his name) and he does one amazing job in reproducing the Keith Relf sound. You really have to hear it.
