10 Amazing Cover Songs You Need To Hear

You could write a whole book on Bob Dylan covers that are better than the original, the man knows how to write a song... performing it though, not so much. Dylan, a great artist, has inspired countless musicians over the decades and their cover songs show just how influential the man is. Jimi Hendrix's only number one song was a cover of All Along The Watchtower after all.

Southern California Irish punk rock (we really have gotten out of hand with music subgenres) group Flogging Molly's cover of Dylan's The Times They Are A-Changing is another entry in the book of Dylan covers which surpass the original. It initially sounds like a standard note-for-note cover of the original (but in an Irish accent), but suddenly goes quiet after the first verse then violently kicks in with a speed and ferocity that sounds more akin to a punk band, as opposed to a, you know, Bob Dylan track.
