Oh Henry, how typical. You can’t talk about classic British rock n’ roll without someone asking why The Who wasn’t mentioned! They’re great, but they’re no Stones, my friend I do love P.T.’s “Let My Love Open The Door” and would love to write a feature on it… if I find enough covers too! Check back.

Yeah, totally. In all honesty, I wrote this piece for the pure reason that I could include their version. It’s pretty rare to prefer a cover to an original, I’d say.

The cowboy junkies version can never be topped. I love that band.

Rookie mistake! It’s okay, they do sound very similar, but Margo has more clarity in her voice. Hope kinda has this sleepy/moany quality. Both rock, no doubt.

Don’t worry. I still know lots of people who still think the Who’s “Baba O’Riley” is called “Teenage Wasteland”

Ok, for YEARS, up until this very moment, I was sure that the Cowboy Junkies version was Mazzy Starr. Epic Failure on my part. Damn.
