HOW many bands have covered Bob Dylan's songs? It's practically uncountable. It's further proof of what an awesome song-writer he is!
I personally think that Gn'R's cover of Knockin' On Heaven's Door is one of the all-time best covers. EVER.

Personally I think covering a Bob Dylan song is a cake walk. His arrangements aren't ever really complex save for a few albums, and he doesn't sing well (even if I like his voice, he still doesn't). I'd say the only time people run aground in covering him is when they don't realize his voice is part of the setting, i.e. Joan Osbourne covering "Long Black Coat" or whatever that atual title is.
