I'll go with Neil on this one ~ never much cared for that Dylan song...

Answer 10

"Gold Rush".  I prefer Dylan as an artist, but I like the song "Gold Rush" more than "Knockin'".

Answer 11

Neil Young...

You switched it up on me Paperbag Writer! I love In Rainbows as well! Weird Fishes and House of Cards are my favs from that album.

Answer 12

Well, I'm the biggest Dylan fan around, one way or another, but got to go with Neil Young's "After the Goldrush" on this Q. I've got nothing against "Knockin'  .  .  ." but it's a short and simple song (not necessarily a bad thing), written as part of a simple movie soundtrack, while "A.T.G." blows me away - it might be my favorite Neil Young song if I was to look at songs that way. love the writing, love the singing, love the feel.

Answer 13

Antony Hegarty's version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door" in a cathedral probably might make me bless myself again.Neil and Bob have sung their song many,many times....But,not like This.

Answer 14

"After The Gold Rush" moves me far more. The message is timeless even though it speaks of the seventies. Wow, thanks for reminding me of this little gem!

Answer 15

Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
