Blinded by the Light and Spirits in the Night by Springsteen and covered by Manfred Manns Earth Band. Manfred has covered several songs like The Mighty Quinn, Shelter from the Storm, Play with Fire (Stones) etc. My opinion the best cover band out there.
What's your favorite remake of a song
I know most remakes fall short of the original, but I suspect that it's usually due to the fact that the original was known and popular. The remake usually pales by comparison, but I've heard a few things lately that I really liked, and wondered what others have enjoyed...
