    Only seems fair to go the other way. It’s not all bad. I’ll start with two absolute belters.

    Maybe not the best cover ever, but much better than the Springsteen original, "Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann's Earthband.

    The Kinks were a phenomenal band but Van Halen's 'You Really Got me' was far far superior to the original.
