I'm going with Cohen by a really slim margin, but I change my mind from time to time on this one......(you can also throw John Cale in the mix to complicate things further)
@headcheese Interesting read, thanks. Can you imagine hanging out with Dylan and Cohen? How long did it take you to write "I and I?" Uhm, 15 minutes...funny.

The never-ending debate. I'll always vote for Leonard (and my wife will always vote for Jeff Buckley). Great song.

I dig Leonard's, particularly the Live in London version, the best.

Personally always loved the Wainwright version
