Are you sure Nick Cave isn't Blue Hammer's pick and he's (rather optimistically) waiting for some more votes
We're gonna be here for ever then:-)

Genuinely getting a bit concerned for the lad now


@BlueHammer85

Just checked he posted last night. Pull your finger out lad I'm off to the driving range soon.

Round 2/M110

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light
v
The Cardigans - My Favourite Game
 
Blinded by the Light. Quite simply one of the great cover versions - better than the original.
This version of BBTL came out when I was very young when I had no idea who Bruce Springsteen even was -- I didn't hear the original until years later. And TBF I like the original too. But this is so whacky and earwormy and so different -- to listen to Bruce's original and then come up with this takes a bit of a crazy genius.

Not a bad Cardigans song at all either (one of my faves by them), but must go with MMEB.

I'd pretty much echo that post. The Cardigans song is excellent. But MMEB is better.
 
I'm actually a bit tired of "blinded". Gets totally overplayed on our classic station here and some of Springsteens lyrics haven't aged that well, but this Cardigans is fresh and vibrant. It's hard to believe that it's over a quarter of a century old
My Favourite Game it is
