Personal list is endless and so varied. But this blew me away and changed everything, aged 14. Now it 'reduces' me to flooded cheek ecstacy, with arms a flailing for good measure . . .

Jimi Hendrix, All Along the Watchtower

There's a regular busker in the Greenwich foot tunnel who delivers a more than half decent acoustic version of AATW.

Better than Dylan?  ;D
Never been a fan of Dylan.

He didn't win the Nobel for his singing talent!

He's a much better writer than singer IMHO

I've just listened to Dylan's version (well, about 20 seconds of it - as much as I could stand).
The guy in the pipe under the river is definitely better.

I don''t speak Welsh but Myfanwy always strikes a chord, as does the odd operatic aria.

Normally played on 2 violins. Whether it was just that performance, I don't know, but this seems to lose much of what the original has to offer.

That's 3m 50s into this video.
