A secondary survey of Ranker users ranked Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” as the fourth greatest song of all time, while a separate poll ranked the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s version as the finest cover song of all time. It was originally released on the John Wesley Harding album, which was the first time it was released. For his “Electric Ladyland” album, Jimi Hendrix recorded and recorded this song in the summer of 1968. In 1968, it rose to the twenty-first position on the list.

‘What’s Going On — Marvin Gaye

When Marvin Gaye released his album “What’s Going On,” it was a watershed moment in music history. The film was inspired by all of the incidents of police violence that have been documented in news reports in California over the years. Initially, it wasn’t a big hit. Despite the fact that it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, it ultimately reached No. 1. In my view, this is one of the most successful Motown albums ever released by the stars. He made a “calm plea for the well-being of the planet,” according to Rolling Stone. It is ranked fourth on the list of the greatest songs ever written, and it is a good tune.
