In the US maybe, but in the UK, the group went on to have quite a few successful hits.

I'll be darned...I didn't know that....By the way, if Ray Dorset's sideburns had been any bigger they would have threatened the world!

Aren't Bob Dylan songs really Leonard Cohen songs?

You knew the rules, and made your choices.

Both were poets, but Cohen was much more profound.

Listen carefully to a deeply stirring song about ego, one of his best.

Here's a kick-ass version of an old Hendrix song. Boonie would approve of this thread diversion.

Yeah, Dylan wrote that. But IMO, Hendrix performed it better. Here are examples of both, so the viewer can judge.





As a side note: That's how I feel about most of Dylan's songs. He's an amazing songwriter, but a mediocre performer. Put one of Dylan's songs in the hands of a talented performer, and you get something magical.

Yep, Hendrix took it in a whole new direction, which is the way a cover song should be.

Here is another Dylan song done just right by the Byrds. Lloyd Green's opening pedal steel riff is magical.



and Marty Stewart doing the same lick on Clarence White's B-bender.



and my attempt at the same pedal steel lick

While listening to that can you naturally hear Dylan performing it? If you can, I know I can hear a familiarity in Leonard's performance with Dylan's recordings. There's a belief that Leonard was behind all Dylan's material. Joanie called Dylan a plagiarist back in the time.
I tend to believe that there was specific subject matter of his material intended to be done by Dylan.
