Now to be honest I don't like Bob Dylan or his voice so I'm not great on his songs BUT I do love Adele's version of one of his songs, in fact I loved it . Just wondering if there are any other great Dylan covers out there ?

I don't know but to truly hear a bob dylan cover, listen to him. No one will ever do his songs better.

I can suggest a few.
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
I Shall Be Released - Sting with U2
Like A Rolling Stone - Jimi Hendrix

I just heard an odd one tonight: Flogging Molly doing "The Times They are a Changin'". Not as good as the Peter, Paul and Mary version but not actually awful either.

Get the album "Is it Rolling Bob? A Reggea tribute to Bob Dylan."

Various Jamacian artists doing reggea covers of Dylan.

Dylan sounds good with a reggea beat.

Guns and Roses did a good cover of "Knockin on Heaven's Door".

I agree the GnR one was good. One of the most famous Dylan covers. It was actually the first song I learnt about that GnR did, when I was starting school.

I think I knew SCoM, WttJ and PC before listening to Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

Was that one they did at a concert? I love Flogging Molly, and have not heard that. Time to hit YouTube.

edit: Found it, from a 4 disc Bob Dylan tribute album for Amnesty International. A couple decent ones on there, including the Flogging Molly one, but man they chose to include the most boring band ever doing All Along the Watchtower. I have never understood the appeal of Dave Matthews Band.

This is just a random guy in what appears to be his living room, but his Dylan covers are absolutely amazing...this one is my favorite of his.
