bob dylan's version of "Like a rolling stone" is the best version there is - that's my vote. the stones' version doesn't hold a candle to it.

I've always preferred the Derek & The Dominos version of Little Wing to Hendrix's original, although I'm probably in a tiny minority there.

I'll join your minority if you let me!
Every now and then I get in an even smaller minority when I say that, at times, I prefer both Stevie Ray Vaughan & Sting's versions better than the two you mentioned.
Peace,

I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1966
Penned by Norman Whitfield and Barret Strongthe the song was given
to Smokey to cut as a demo/guide track for other artists to follow....
Glady's Knight recorded and released her take of it in
1967 with Marvin Gaye later recording his version in 1968...
The Smokey version is well worth checking out ...........

Bob Dylan wrote the song and recorded several versions of it during the Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996/97) but was somehow not satisfied with the results. Thus he gave the song to Sheryl Crow who recorded and released it right away. Bob Dylan himself rerecorded the song and released on Love & Theft in 2002.
Three (!) different versions of the song recorded in 1997 were released on Bootleg Series Vol. 8 (Tell Tale Signs) in 2008. One of these versions is a all acoustic take with only two guitars.
Btw: The version released on Love & Theft is a good example that shows why Bob Dylan is a much better singer than Sheryl Crow – while she rather screams and shouts the song (especially during the second half of it) Bob Dylan manages to put so many nuances in his voice and his phrasing that the song, it's story and it's message (if there is any) seem to change all the time (and each time you listen to it). – If been listing to that song for years but I'm never really able to tell if he sings "Things should start to get interestin' right about now" or "Things shouldn't start to get interestin' right about now
