How come "Hazy Shade of Winter" gets annotated with "cover" but "Mr Tambourine Man" and "It Aint Me Babe" don't?

Because Bob Dylan never should have sang any of his songs. His voice is terrible. Such a shame, given his extreme talent in all other aspects of music

Also, while written by Dylan, the cover versions are much more famous than Dylan's original, most likely for the reason "Cork" proposed. Same with "All Along the Watchtower," and others.

They moved to California as high schoolers, and that's where they made their mark.

Yeah, but the instructions say: "name these musical acts from the Los Angeles area." Seems like an unnecessary stretch when there are so many bands legitimately from LA.

Well i missed Rage because i thought the name of their song was killing in the name of, lol. Also, maybe having a subsequent "hit" as their second song might help, like bulls on parade, or testify, or guerrilla radio, or renegades of funk, or sleep now in the fire.

I stand corrected on their origin though, having just looked it up now. Formed in LA, but spent most of their career in/around SF.

james h & lars U are from LA,

when they needed a new guitarplayer they met kirk H. He wanted to play in the band but only if Lars and James mooved to frisco with him.

No jebbush .they moved to San Francisco to link up with Cliff Burton and to get away from the hair glam metal scene . thrash was just emerging in San Francisco .

How is anyone supposed to know RHCpeppers come from LA , California . Maybe they could mention it in some of their songs to give us a clue.
