Having a REALLY hard time with "All Along the Watchtower" being below "I Will Always Love You." Jimi took Dylan's song and made it LEGEND, while Whitney took Dolly Parton's song and locked it in a freezer. Seriously, listen to Dolly's version--she sounds delicate and heartbroken and it's lovely. Whitney's sounds too slick...the verbal gymnastics are impressive but without the emotion it's meh.

Like a Rolling Stone - Rolling Stones

Little Help from my friends - Joe Cocker

This might just be me showing my age, but am I really alone in thinking Leonard Cohens original "Halleluja" is better than Jeff Buckleys version?

Well, I just wasted an hour watching half of that channel's videos.
