Manfred Mann’s cover of Springsteen’s Blinded by the Light...even if “Duece” is screwed up.

Pure brilliance by Manfred Mann, mixing up deuce with douche. I was surprised that the song got through the censors in the mid 70's.

It’s a fun version - let’s all agree that the California Raisins version is best forgotten. I HATED those ads as a child.

But this is the best version of Take Me To the River...

We gave our dad one of those. It stayed mounted on his kitchen wall until the end.

“Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright” by the Guess Who (Four Seasons) is fun.

I always thought that was a reference to Bruce :)

Enpirically I'd have to say the "best cover" as judged by commercial success is probably Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton, 1973) It was #1 for like 2 years or seemed like it. Set all kinds of records (no pun intended).

Absolutely!

Not bad, but it’s a completely different song.

Not a big fan of Pearl Jam , however I think Billy Strings does a good job covering In Hiding.
