folk rock indeed. no pop, but call him the boss. Manfred Mann's Earthband do have it's unique cover with a #1 thanx to the writer, Bruce Spingsteen. ( ; Great song this one, yes!
This song isn't pop, Manfred Mann made it pop. If you're going to go pop with Springsteen, pick one of his pop songs to cover. This song's power comes from rock and roll, not synthesizers.
@Grackle2012 Manfred Mann did an excellent job covering this, the keyboard on his version is just perfect. If you dont like it it's ok, but dont say it's bad cause that's really ignorant
This is one of the few times a cover was far superior, doesn't mean this isn't good or anything, but it's just one of those things, the song works better in another way.
Funny how art works that way sometimes, look at Hurt by NIN, just worked better as a Johny Cash song.
Just getting into the boss... and about time too!!

Manfred Mann really butchered this cover. No one writes songs like the boss.

@Vameon
I guess that'd be one of those true opinions. I love this original more than the Earth Band's version, but the latter is better.
But I love myself for finding the original a couple years ago.

This...is shit. It's funny when a cover of this...SHIT becomes a greatly remembered rock anthem. Over-rated sugar coated piece of shit. that is all.

@mooshpomak I assume the "over-rated sugar coated piece of shit" you're talking about is the Manfred Man version, right?
