Tempo, arrangement, instruments........

Examples....."All Along The Watchtower" nothing needs to be said here.

Manfred Mann took three ok Springsteen tunes and made the outstanding......

Just my opinion.....

Josh Ritter - The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter

As for Dylan, he made the best music on the planet up until about 1976.

In an event to be fully transparent and after further review I do have the double album Dylan's Greatest hits and I also have Dylan & The Dead.

Even Dylan knew when he was in the presence of Jerry Garcia he was with a true Grand Master

Let's see. I have only seen Dylan once, but I have seen Rush . . . .Zero. I can take Dylan's voice a lot more that I can take Geddy's. One of my favorite vocal performers at a live show is Ian Anderson. He is among the most expressive. And his flute playing is an extension of his vocal performance.

Regards,
