Who Thinks Peter, Paul,& Mary's Version Of "Blowin In The Wind" Is Better Than Bob Dylan's?

Question

He wrote the song.

Yea just look At "All Along The Watchtower", Jimi Hendrix or Bob Dylan?

Answer 1

Since both recordings evoke completely different emotions -
My mind has put them in different categories -
meaning - I like them both - for different reasons

go back and Listen to dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" -
There .... is a fine song - from a wonderful era....

Answer 2

Bob Dylan, without a doubt. Sure, one can (effectively) say that nearly anyone sings better than Dylan. However, I'll argue that, when the man is singing his own lyrics, his rough, horrible "voice" adds a brutally poetic touch that can not be equalled. The aesthetically-pleasing qualities of a good singing voice aside, Dylan's choice to sing his own words weaves layers of depth and passion into his music. It's one thing to sing a song well. I find it a far more beautiful thing to sing a song very badly.

Answer 3

Anyone's version of anything's better than Bob Dylan's.

Answer 4

Bob dylan is 1000 times better
besides, i never like covers

Answer 5

Peter, Paul, and Mary's version is MUCH superior in that they can sing while Bob Dylan can't.

Answer 6

Yes, I know he wrote it along with many other huge hits covered by lots of other famous people like the Byrds. Did you know that John Denver wrote "Leavin on a Jet Plane" covered by PP&M?

To answer your question, I can't stand Bob Dylan's voice, so the answer is: PP&M.

'Nuff said?

Answer 7

easier on the ears, bob's lyrics are hard to make out but he is bob dylan, and his son from the wall flowers is so handsome.

Answer 8

I think anyone who covers his songs invariably does a better job. He was a genius when it comes to song writing but never should have let someone talk him into singing them.

Answer 9

yes I totally agree,and their version of "leaving on a jet plane" is much better than the late John Denver one.

Answer 10

i think peter paul mary
