Where do you think it rates among all time greatest covers?

It might be #1 as far as my favorite, but I like Dylan's original a lot too.  If you are rating how much the cover improves on the original, maybe Joe Cocker's A Littler Help From My Friends or to divert the genre, WHitney Houston's I Will Always Love You?

Sticking with Dolly Parton covers, people swear by the White Stripes' version of Jolene, but I'm sorry, that is peak Dolly.  I don't think there is a song of hers I enjoy more, and nobody will ever improve upon it.

and Jimi can play the guitar

Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails "Hurt" is up there IMHO.

Did Jimi write songs?  I don't know of any that he wrote, but that doesn't mean all that much.
Bob wrote a few.

Jimi wrote Little Wing, and I might put my all time #1 cover as Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of that song.

Word up, love that song and I love the cover even more.

We have a thread on the B12 board with a pretty lengthy discussion of cover songs, for anyone interested.

If we were voting on song writing Bob might be #1

I love SRV, and I love that cover, but it wasn't exactly transformative to the original. I don't think it is anywhere near an all time #1 cover.

Jimi wrote many, Bob wrote a few for Jimi


List of songs recorded by Jimi Hendrix.  

Of the 174 individual titles listed, Hendrix wrote all, except for 42 (band members Noel Redding, Buddy Miles, Mitch Mitchell, and Larry Lee are credited with six songs; Bob Dylan accounts for five). Sixty were issued between December 1966 to September 1970[5] and 114 have been released subsequently. Many of the posthumous releases are live recordings and alternate versions of songs already issued; several are demos, works in progress, and jams that Hendrix may or may not have completed.[6]

i don't believe a cover must be "transformative" to be an all-time great.  You and I simply disagree on criteria.

Jimi's original was ok.  SRV's cover was unbelievable.  My opinion,obviously.

Not exactly a cover but I loved the live version of Comfortably Numb by Roger Waters, Van Morrison, and the Band
