AND ALSO. I am reading commentary on this one thing and wow, I had no idea so many people didn't know that Bob Dylan wrote & recorded All Along the Watchtower before Jimi Hendrix did it. I have no idea why this is annoying me, but it really, really is.

ETA: OH! I was looking at the wiki page and apparently the slide guitar solo [in the Jimi version] between the second and final verses? Done with a CIGARETTE LIGHTER. Holy fucking shit, that man was a genius. So cool.

One more ETA, with feeling: Does anyone out there have "Axis, Bold as Love"? I do not, and it's making me unhappy. Oops, yes I do!

Yeah, and everybody thinks that Knocking on Heaven's Door is a Guns n' Roses original, when that too was penned by the amazing Mr Dylan as well.

And I think Dylan recorded House of the Rising Sun before The Animals as well.

And You Really Got Me was done by the Kinks before van Halen.

Aw, and if you were interested, U2

pressed send to early

*sigh* Continuing on....

U2 did a fantastic live cover of AATWT back in the day...bloody good. I actually prefer it to the Dylan original to be frank, and that doesn't happen often! ;) I've only ever heard the Hendrix version once.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door is exactly the kind of thing I mean - although, heh, I don't actually know the G&R version all that well, just the Clapton version, heh. :D
