Like A Rolling Stone
With so many versions of "Like A Rolling Stone" out there (the #1 song ever writtten, according to Rolling Stone magazine-- duh), it would be nice to evaluate the Rolling Stones' version. It was, after all, released as a single in 1995. And as previously mentioned, with so many Bob Dylan covers out there, it's nice to see when someone gives it the original treatment-- giving the song a unique, diferent sound. The Rolling Stones unfortunately fail to make this happen, giving a carbon copy of the original. It's a fine performance, but rather unnecessary.

So I went on iTunes to check out the Stones track, and there I found a cover of this song by... wait for it... Micheal f**king Bolton. Oh yes, it was a goddamn travesty.

If the Stones did this one back in the sixties, it might come close to Dylan's original... but they were a little late

Stone's cover is pleasant but the best cover of LARS was by Hendrix at Monterey.

The Stones did a great job what had no chance outplaying his Bobness on the top of his creativity. Anyway it's pretty worth listetning but I prefer the Stones playing it with Dylan at the South American tour.

What was Jagger doing singing lead on the Stones' version? Ron Wood really should have handled the vocals, he has the most Dylan-esque voice.
