I might be the lone vote for Dylan's version. Jimi's version has been massacred by "classic rock" radio, and the Dylan fan in my always likes the originals better.
Who Did It Better???

@hansmoust I was really surprised because I was sure I was gonna pick The Four Tops for sure, but of those two, I really think Ricki Lee Jones knocked it out of the park!! BUT, how about this one??
I'm going Beatles (Aerosmith on their way down before imploding), Talking Heads (TH has a more sultry groove) and Aztec Camera (because it takes the piss out of cartoon rock).

So, on One, I'm picking Three Dog Night.
Over The Rainbow, I'm going with Eva.
So much music to listen to so early, LOL!!

Marilyn McCoo's amazing voice.
Versus Laura Nyro's amazing songwriting.
I'd call this one a draw.

Agreed. My head would explode if I had to decide between those two.
