    Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Bob Geldof, Nick Lowe, Curtis Stigers, Elvis Costello... whoever sings this song, it is always a masterpiece. I listen to it whenever I feel blue. Sorry for my shaky english. Best wishes from Italy.

      Indeed - Bruce himself was happy to do covers and many of his own songs were covered. No one appreciates a well crafted song more than someone who is him or herself a good songwriter, even if it's not theirs. Always loved Bruces cover of Jersey Girl (by Tom Waits)

    It's quite simply a masterclass, lyrically and musically, in how to write the perfect rock'n'roll song that actually connects with people's hearts. Completely overlooked in 1974, every passing decade connects more hearts to it, and it now stands as one of the greatest songs ever written.

    Nick Lowe tells the story that he was desperate to write his first song but every time he did so he'd play it and realise that he'd just re-written a Dylan one or a Lennon one or whatever.
    Then one day he came up with this and it slowly dawned on him that he couldn't remember who originally did it and realised that he'd acheived his aim. Yes this was his first.

    Okay, just a few comments. Max Weinberg is "the glue guy" to use Coach Self's term. Probably the best drummer in Rock n Roll. One of the best songs ever.

    Nick Lowe wrote this brilliant song. Yet Elvis Costello put it on the map!

      Nick Lowe put it out as the B side of the single "American Squirm" with Elvis Costello on vocals and a band part-Rockpile, part-Attractions. Another winner from Basher.

    People bashing this, come on music is about what you feel, the feeling it gives you. My favorite is Chris Cornell, but they didn't fuck this song up. they did great. If this isn't your style thats ok go find another artist who covered it and feel their version. ✌💚
