Since Bob Dylan’s 1962 debut, his music has transcended genre and generations. The list of musicians who have covered his music reads like a history of rock music itself: Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, Lou Reed, Pearl Jam and more. Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez have had hits with his work, and a whole generation of indie rock musicians have re-examined his Eighties output. His iconic songs have been transformed and his bootlegged deep cuts are beloved too. In honor of his 75th birthday, here’s a playlist of 75 artists covering his tunes, from Marianne Faithfull to Miley Cyrus.
