This is akin to asking if the Dylan original of "Watchtower" is better than the Hendrix (or Jerry, or Dead, or Neil, or DJ Spooky) just because its the orginal.

PS - You, me, Less, Flower, Bnb, NcS, Man, and the other "musically inclined" should do a few updated polls, as the last few are a few years old.

No it's not.
Dylan's version of Watchtower was shitty. Baez's Daimonds & Rust is damn good. She can sing.
Watchtower should be banned from ever being covered again. Neil's versions are flat, Bob Weirs are awful and the tune is just beaten. It's the dead horse of cover tunes. Who hasn't coveed it? Dave Matthews even took a shot.
The odd thing about Diamonds & Rust is that of all the criticisms Baez throws at Dylan in that song, she never rips him for not being able to sing.
