Which version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door is better?
The GNR version or the Bob Dylan version?

[Dr. Sticks]

Knocking on Heaven's Door is pretty much one of the only GNR songs that are listenable.
Mainly because it's not their song

I think that any song being played by Bob Dylan is ultimately better than any song being played by GNR

[osprey]

Original artist ftw.

[datherman]

I'm partial to the GnR version personally. Nice edgy feel to it.

[Dr. Sticks]

yeah, like GNR had a very good sound to it but it's not a folk song... therefore not comparable

[Baconsticks]

I don't know about Knockin' on Heaven's Door much, but GNR is awesome. So it gets my vote.

[Arloest]

Bob Dylan, purely because I despise GNR.

[Muninn]

I'm a huge Dylan fan, so I'll vote that.

EDIT - So I decided I should at least give them a chance. Listened to this version, and didn't like it much. My search also revealed that Avril Lavigne's covered the song too.

Bob Dylan, purely because I despise GNR.

Option 4 is the correct one. I have never been a fan of Dylan's vocals. He is a good writer; but I don't think he can sing at all.

And of course GnR is well...GnR.

[Dr. Sticks]

CHANGE MY MIND AVRIL'S IS THE BEST VERSION.


I once performed the song at a talent show with two of my friends, but our drummer was pantsless awful and sped the tempo up on EVERY SONG so I had to sing it way too fast and it didn't sound that good

[MuffinSticks]

He is a good writer; but I don't think he can sing at all.

I hate when people say that. I hate you.

[nickspoon]

Dylan, absolutely.

(Poll fixed.)

[Segovia]

Well at least some people like the GNR version. I love it.

[Æron]

I wonder if Muffin thought the same thing I did immediately after reading "GNR."

Helloooo chillldren. Aroooo!
