I like the remake a smidgeon more than the original. A hair more. And I really like the original.

Bob Seger's remake of the CCR classic "Who'll Stop the Rain" on Fogerty's new CD is an absolute killer tune and better than the CCR original.

I think 90% of the originals are better and 9.5% of the covers are usually a push (like Hurt and Knockin on Heaven's Door). Ill just post this one because its a top 5 Nirvana song and a fairly disposable Bowie song

I prefer the Springsteen version, most do not.

I guess I don't find that too surprising. The Bowie version isn't bad...its just dated and kinda...off to me. But most good covers I've heard are also good originals.

Last Kiss is easily my least favorite 'popular' Pearl Jam song
