good song/better cover

The most obvious one, ever, is All Along the Watchtower.

It's so obvious that I didn't even find an original Dylan recording of it on Youtube.

I did find about 50 covers of Hendrix's version of it though.

Bob Dylan....All Along the Watchtower

That had to be the biggest song move-up ever.

I can't find the original version of Hey Joe (Billy Roberts) but I'd include that one as well.

Here''s a pretty bad version (aka douchebag version :D) , just to be annoying...

It's just that he went from being this kinda cool icon to well... seems like he was cool way way back.

I'm a mean person. That's all. :p

I was going to put this...

against The Postal Service but it wouldn't be right. I hate Phil Collins. Not because he's talentless, it's because he's so god-damned talented and he's a douche.

I could actually do a bunch of different ones for Bird and the Bee. They actually released a whole Hall and Oates tribute last year.
