I've always liked Avril's music so I vote her.

Bond, you already failed for not including Clapton's version. I can't vote until he is given credit.

Re: Knockin' on Heaven's Door: Which is superior?
 
Haha, Clapton's version is actually my favorite, especially considering the circumstances around which he sang the song... but I wanted to mix it up a little bit.

Okay, good answer. By the way, I have more respect for you now.

It's hard for me to choose between Dylan and Guns n' Roses, but I gotta go with the originator.

Agreed. I remember hearing this on the radio at 2 AM once and thinking that it must be one of the most absurd vocal takes ever put to tape. I mean, seriously? I couldn't stop laughing thinking of the song without the music and just hearing Axl belt it out. It's ridiculous.

I've always been a fan of Dylan's version.

Gonna go with the one I grew up on... and hope its right.

Reggae version.
Which believe was sung by Marley.

Yup, twas Bob Marley.

Parents played both Bobs growing up. Not sure which I prefer. Think Marley.

I probably gravitate towards the Guns N Roses version....it's the one I hear the most. But I also like the rawness of Dylan's original.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockin...eaven%27s_Door

It's been covered by A LOT of artists. It's an okay song, maybe I would like it more if it wasn't played so much? It's certainly not a good representation of Dylan's long and amazing career. :p So, on that note, it is one of Guns N Roses better songs, which says a lot about how much they suck. So yeah, I think I prefer the Axl Rose version.

I really do not like Dylan or Avril. Guns 'N Roses for me.

The fact that Dylan is beating GNR in this poll is disgusting. You folks have no taste!

in retrospect I wonder who is more tasteless, Avril or Guns N Roses.

Joke character? No, we all know that GNR wins at Knockin' on Heavens door. Just because it's your precious Bob Dylan doesn't mean that he's the best at everything.

GNR wins at being so ridiculous it's good, but that doesn't make it better than the original.

He's not "my precious". If I had the choice, I would've taken Clapton's version. I'd take Clapton over Dylan any day.

Re: Knockin' on Heaven's Door: Which is superior?
 
Ick. No GNR, for the reason Dyne put. For me the GNR version is very obnoxious.

Dylan by default.
