A lot of people think "All Along the Watchtower" is a Hendrix original, but this is the definitive version of a Bob Dylan song
I've heard this forever and have never really tired of it. Inspired singing and amazing playing.

Faith No More's cover of "Let's Lynch the Landlord" by the Dead Kennedys is fantastic, as is the entire Director's Cut album by Fantomas.

I knew that, and Hendrix does a good version of, "Like A Rolling Stone", too. A lot of people don't realize that, "Whiskey In The Jar" is an old Irish folk song, and it was done in rock & roll format, by Thin Lizzy, long before Metallica did it.

Megadeth's version of Paranoid kills the original.
