   Not being much of a performer, I tend to fall for particular artists'   
   renditions, rather than the song in raw form.   
      
   Tomorrow Is a Long Time has to top the list -- (in the order I   
   encountered them) Hamilton Camp, Judy Collins and Odetta.  Usually if I   
   like one version a lot, I can't adjust to others which are much   
   different, but this song must have something special to inspire three   
   such very different and very eloquent expressions.   
      
   Second would be Lay Down Your Weary Tune.  Yes, I know it's just Dylan's   
   usual purposeless purple poesy, but after hearing Jim and Jean, who   
   cares?   
      
   Joan Baez did so many of Dylan's songs so well that it's hard to choose   
   just one.  Call it a toss-up between Love Is Just a Four-letter Word and   
   One Too Many Mornings.
