I'm a big MC fan, but I don't think I've heard this. Where is it from?

Good Evening.

Ronnie Wood isn't 1/1000 the vocalist that Rod is, but his take on that song is just perfectly ragged to me.

It's not Ronnie Lane?


I'd always thought it was Lane as well, but according to Allmusic.com it's Wood on vocals. They could be wrong, of course....

Blinded By The Light - Manfred Mann (beats Bruce Springsteen)
I Drove All Night - Cyndi Lauper (improves on Roy Oribson's version and blows Celine Dion's version out of the water)
Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy (Sting was okay, but this one is hauntingly beautiful)
Emotion - Destiny's Child (nice ballad from a mid-tempo disco song)
Cum On Feel Tha Noize - Quiet Riot (rocks out over Slade's version)
Red Red Wine - UB40 (turns Neil Diamond's mournful dirge into reggae/ska classic)
Hurt - Johnny Cash (no offense to Trent Reznor/NIN fans, but the man in black totally made this song his own before he left this earth)

Really? I can't stand that version. It's so different from the original that it's almost a different song.

Emotion - Destiny's Child (nice ballad from a mid-tempo disco song)

Ya know, I think I'd have to agree with you here.

Yeah, the original got a lot of regional play back in '78. But nothing compares to Blondie.

That reminds me - Sinead - Nothing Compares 2 U.


That's another one.

Here's one by default: Madonna- "American Pie". I don't like her version of it at all, but I absolutely HATE the original with the heat of 1000 suns!


The original version of "The Tide is High". It was orginally done by John Holt and the Paragons, in the 60's. I like this original version, a lot better than Blondie's.

Tortoise and Will Oldham's cover of Daniel sounds like elevator music from hell (a good thing, I think).
