Comprehensive list, BJ.

Can't think of any others to add, and I haven't heard the majority of those in your post.

[SteveO]

Very impressive list. BJ !!!!...worth checking out !!!! Jefferson Airplane did a cover of Wooden Ships on Volunteers but that doesn't count !...lol

Avril Lavigne (like her or not) did a decent cover of one of my fav Dylan songs - Knockin' On Heaven's Door I thought and hey she's Canadian !!!!!....lol

[Jerome]

The most important one is 'Diamonds and Rust'. It is about him after all.

[TraceNspace]

I really love PJ Harvey's Highway 61 Revisited listen to that one a lot.

[gryphon]

Tangled Up In Blue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is Dylan and Susie Rotolo( and Sara Dylan and others ????????) and a really good song !

[Music Head]

The most important one is 'Diamonds and Rust'. It is about him after all.
