All Along The Watchtower – The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Bob Dylan was a fan of Jimi Hendrix’s cover! He liked it even better than his very own original rendition. He said, “I liked Jimi Hendrix’s record of this and ever since he died I’ve been doing it that way … Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it’s a tribute to him in some kind of way.” The song came out in 1968.
For What It’s Worth – Buffalo Springfield
The song was written by none other than Stephen Stills. It was released in 1966. In one interview, he said that the title of the song came to him when he handed it to the record company exec. Apparently, he explained, “I have this song here, for what it’s worth, if you want it.”
