I love to hear Dylan sung about by other popular artists, It says a lot about the impact he had and still has on today's music. I know of quite a few more but I'm only going to post songs that I can obtain recordings of to check it out myself. If you know of any obvious ones that I missed, please tell me. - Knuget.
