And while I know this is goofy, I am fond of the Guns N Roses cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door, if only for that great moment where Axel barks out "hey hey hey". And there's the Joan Baez cover of Simple Twist of Fate too, which may not belong on the greatest covers list but has a great moment where she sings a line imitating his twang, a nice tribute considering they were lovers at one point. <br /><br />And let's not forget George Harrison's beautiful cover of If Not For You from All Things Must Pass....Tom Ehrenfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631646873808799064noreply@blogger.com
