I am a big fan of covers done well...U2 covering All Along the Watchtower does NOT count as a cover done well...Jimi's version DOES. Metallica covering Turn the Page kicks butt. And like this version of Baker Street, taking the song to a place it hasn't been before is the whole point of doing it. Both the original and the cover kick ass...they're just different flavors of the treat. Delicious. - Jim, Phoenix, United States, 21.01.2007

The original is usually the best, eventhough the Foo Fighters did a top notch job! Saxophone > guitar - Dave, Mobile, United States, 11.01.2007

Love both, but i have an inbuilt hatred of all thing sax. great riff, the electric version does it for me - nicko, brisbane, Australia, 05.05.2006
