There's a whole bunch of them from Dylan. Everybody raves about Jimi's version of 'All Along The Watchtower', but I much prefer Dylan's original, which paints a dark, haunting uncertain picture.
Even Dylan himself said that Jimi's version was much better. In the booklet accompanying his Biograph album, Dylan said: "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way." That should speak volumes to the Dylan nerds.


I don't like any part of the Dylan version, not even a little bit. The harp in that song so brutal. It's worse than nails on a chalkboard to me.

First one I thought of was Rats In The Cellar by Aerosmith.

Is it safe to mention the harmonica solo in Over and Over by The Dave Clark Five? If not here are a few others

Come On - The Rolling Stones
Heart of Gold - Neil Young
Piano Man - Billy Joel <This one has been in my head forever but I never realized it came from this song :gig
