Bob Dylan Covers

Was Bob Dylan the first punk rocker? The brilliant exit music from Watchmen does much to confirm this theory. His Desolation Row is reprised by My Chemical Romance, it could easily have been the Sex Pistols or the Clash at their best. It reminded me that one of my favourite tracks of all time is by Jason and the Scorchers. Their frantic version of Absolutely Sweet Marie is still my favourite Bob Dylan cover. Rage Against The Machine recorded Maggie's Farm and Red Hot Chili Peppers cover Subterranean Lovesick Blues. There must be more.
