Dylan doesn't agree with you (at least if Wikipedia is to be trusted):
Quote:Dylan has described his reaction to hearing Hendrix's version: "It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn't think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day."[25] In the booklet accompanying his Biograph album, Dylan said: "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Along_the_Watchtower
To each his own as far as taste in any art is concerned, but one cannot deny Hendrix's influence.
