Foo Fighters lead kicks ass compared to the lame 70's sax solo it is replacing!

Gerry's version is so much better. Although I do like the Foo Fighters their version just sounds bad and muffled. Perhaps if they used a different sound on the guitar... or better yet, a saxophone! =D

The Gerry Rafferty original is a genuine work of art, however, the Foo Fighters version gives it an undeniable modern twist that rock fans can't go without

Gerry Rafferty is the best.

Foo Fighters are my passion, so I have to say he they did the way better job here. The Sax sux!

Great cover, beautiful solo work.

The Foo Fighters did a fine job but nowhere near as good as the original. "Lame ass sax solo?" I can tell I'm the oldest person here. Which one will still be heard 30 years from now? Yep, Gerry Rafferty!

Foos version is one of their best covers. Their version simply rocks.
- Alex, Athens, Greece, 18.03.2007
This song is great to begin with, but Foo makes this song rip w/o sax
- Chuck, New Orleans, United States, 28.02.2007
I loved Gerry Rafferty's song way back, when I first heard it on the radio as a kid. However, Foo Fighters lend an edgy sound that makes me love the song even more.
