First 2 and half minutes are just noise, I'm sorry throwing the Kitchen Sink at it with a cast of thousands doesn't improve it one bit.

His vocals are very weak as well.

Its a NO from me, only good thing is I am about to play Low all the way through for the next 45 minutes...

Industrial electronic music is not for me, but I noticed that Laibach did a whole album of Beatles covers, is their version of Get Back the best on this album?

Nothing could spank the original, but these ladies come pretty close. Privileged to see the man himself, Richard Thompson, perform this live a few weeks ago at the DLWP.

For me Metallica's version trumps the Bob Seger original.

This song was made for Moz to cover.

He may be a pretender playing guitar, but his melancholic voice brings back memories of a musical place in the past we've been cast out of.

TBH, a lot of this thread is like that. It's moved from being about great cover versions to any cover versions.

Any cover version of anything by Bob Dylan. How could such a talented songsmith and artist be such an abysmal singer.

He is an acquired taste, pretty well the only versions of his songs that I prefer by another band or artist are by the Byrds.
