Styx was the very first “rock” concert I went to, at the age of 14 - 1975. Been in love with Tommy Shaw ever since. There are some good videos out there with him and the Contemporary Youth Symphony.

Careless Whisper. Seether’s version is way better than the Wham!/George Michael version.

Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm is better than Michael Jackson’s original.

Pearl Jam’s cover of Last Kiss was better than the Wayne Cochran original

The Specials versions of Pressure Drop (Toots and the Maytals) and Rudy, a Message to You (Dandy Livingstone) were better than the originals.

Jimi Hendrix’s All Along the Watchtower was so much better than Bob Dylan’s original its breathtaking. Dylan should have stuck to writing songs for people who could actually sing.

Frank Sinatra’s cover of Anything Goes is better than Cole Porter’s original.

Feeling Stronger Everyday, by Leonid and Friends. Better than the Chicago original.

Song’s title is “You Can’t Hurry Love”.

“CBML” is a Beatles song.

That is exactly how I hear Tom Waits.
I have not purposely listened to Waits in over 20 years. If I want stylized grief, one place would be The Cure.

Listen to AL Hirt do a trumpet solo of The Star Spangled Banner in 1967 at a NOLA Saints game. Epic.
