Oh, and I KNEW this was an original. I mean, the Boss, a Jersey lad, had to be, right?


Except I later (much later) found out it was by some guy from LA who you've probably never heard of. Weird, huh? Wonder whatever happened to him?

That's more like it! :)

I only just recently went through Bowie's discography, and Wild is the wind sounded so particular that I went and investigated whose it actually was.

Do Ya, which I always thought was jus an ELO song, but no ho ho ho it aint:

I probably don't need to post the other version.

Yeah well... technically Roy Wood was in the Move, so it's almost an ELO song. I know he wasn't with them for A New World Record, but, you know...

But... but I didn't know.

To be honest I'm not 100% sure if at some point I knew this and then forgot, or maybe I had a subconscious knowledge that this wasn't a Jimi Hendrix song (especially because of the lyrics) but I'm pretty sure I never heard the original so:





It's been so much associated with Jimi Hendrix that supposedly even Bob Dylan said "This is Jimi's song, I just wrote it".

And another Bob Dylan cover:





My personal preference is for the covers...:D

Dylan's been covered by quite a few people/bands. The most covered artist out there, besides the Beatles.

I introduced my friend to Laibach, and he didn't realize that Sympathy For The Devil was a Stones cover, lol. He told me he doesn't listen to the Rolling Stones, but I still gave him ****.
