Now this one's not better than the original, but it sure is funky. They did an album of Pink Floyd covers, and they're all good.

Tina Turner - I Can't Stand The Rain (12" version with Sax solo)
- Missing You
Jimmy Nail - Love Don't Live Here Anymore
Annie Lennox - Downtown Lights
... I love the originals too, but these re-makes add something to the originals IMO.

The thing is that all Dylan's songs sound better when played by other people. It's a fact! When God made Dylan he put all his effort into sorting out the song-writing, and forgot to sort out the vocals! Poor chap
