Any one he doesn’t himself sing? Probably the Hendrix version of “All along the watchtower”.

[ConservativeMind]

Blowing in the Wind
Forever Young

[Ciaphas Cain]

"Weird Al" Yankovic spoofed that scene in his all-palindrome song "Bob" :-)

[dfwgator]

I remember INXS spoofed it in their “I Need You Tonight” video.

Here are some of my favorites.   (There are plenty more where they came from!)    😎

"It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry"

"Pledging My Time"

"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"

"Thunder On The Mountain"

"To Be Alone with You"

"Wallflower"

"Tomorrow Is A Long Time" - Elvis Presley

"Watching the River Flow"

"When I Paint My Masterpiece"

"Forever Young"

"Gotta Serve Somebody"

[Recovering_Democrat]

Dylan has done so many good songs. “Hurricane”, “Blowin’ in the Wind”, “Jokerman”, “Cold Irons Bound”, “Shooting Star”, “Saved”.

Hard to pick. “Every Grain of Sand” is powerful.

“Most of them are.“

Either explain or stop with the slander

[Wilderness Conservative]

Still into the celebrity worship, eh? You’re pathetic.

[kjam22]

Agree….. to many to pick a favorite. He is my favorite artist

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Ha! Hottest version…for us geezers anyway

[Songcraft]

Here's the version of this song I meant to post.

      "When I Paint My Masterpiece"

[Founding Father]

Blind Willie McTell
Bob on piano
Mark on guitar (12 string),
bootleg version

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Girl from the North Country

[HockeyPop]

“Equality,” I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now

Might as well toss in Alvin Lee:
“Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me, where is sanity?”
