No, just no! I watched G&R play it live. They can't carry Dylan's jock. I've performed this song both ways many times over the years and I can tell you with absolute certainty that Dylan's version goes over much better with 90% of the audience.

John Coltrane version of "My Favorite Things"

Hendrix version is great and is the one that I do but again we're talking about Dylan here. This is a tough one for me but I will give this one to Jimi but it's damn close.

Stevie Ray Vaughn also did a good cover of that song.

Love Sting but SRV by a landslide.

I've seen Disturbed live in P-cola and loved them. Dude absolutely kills it but now we're talking about S&G...Tie. Wts, dude does sing the crap out of it. Perhaps slight edge to Disturbed.
