Anything Bruce has covered - not that he's recorded many but some of his live renditions are amazing

This is one of my favourites - helped by a rather buff Bruce Jus watched it from start to finish again...love it...

Have you ever listened to The Seeger Sessions a collection of old folk and traditional songs he covered and toured with?

I’m not a Springsteen fan but I loved that particular cd.

Not sure I'm having that. The Richard Harris version is funny and cringeworthy in equal measure which in my opinion is part of the appeal of the song surely. Having it sung properly doesn't seem right.

John Cooper Clarke and Hugh Cornwell did a cover of MP. Bad, but good. ?
