Open Pandora's box and look in and there'll be no stopping what comes out. You're talking about the most heavily-covered dude in musicdom. EVERYBODY has covered Dylan-most really, really well. Bands like The Byrds and The Band made a living doing it. Turtles, Stones, Animals, Peter, Paul & Mary, Joan Baez, etc.
Forget it...

One of the very best from one of New Zealand's finest groups (for those not in the know Crowded House was one of the successor groups to the Enz, though this song was written by Tim Finn, older brother of Neil). Finn described it as a love song of sorts, but with a cruel edge: "....here & now but not forever".
Don't know how this ended up on a Belinda Carlisle album in 1986. Very odd indeed. her vocals are OK, but the production lets it down in places (that bloody Bach trumpet sounds like it wandered in from the 'Penny Lane' sessions).
Eddie Vedder has a history of incorporating relatively obscure covers into his sets. Double as handy crowd pleasers outside the US too. This is a duet with the song's writer. I prefer a more stripped back version of this song, though the harmonies let this down a wee bit.
THE WINNER!!!! This version from Australian singer/songwriter Missy Higgins. She nails it for mine.
This is a respectable cover of the Classic Maiden song the Trooper. I like the sound but the vocals are not a patch on the vocal perfection that is Bruce Dickinson!!!!!

Not only the vocals, but also the guitar is not on par with Adrian Smith.
