I just learned that Blinded By The Light was actually written by Bruce Springsteen.  I'm so embarrassed that I didn't know this already. :Embarrass:  I've seen Bruce like four times in concert.  JERSEY SHORE RULES!

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

Hey, has anyone other than me noticed that the opening to Heaven's A Lie by Lacuna Coil sounds just like the opening to Wasted Years? :hmm:

Bruce's first album ("Greeting from Ashbury Park") is pretty rough around the edges, but "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City" and "Growin' Up" are both great.  David Bowie covered both of them in his "Bisexual astronaut with orange hair from outer space" phase.  Manfred Mann covered both "Blinded by the Light" and "Spirit in the Night," both of those are worthwhile. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Song of the Spring.  Bryan Ferry still fucking has it.
I'll give you that it's a great cover, but Song of the Spring goes to The War on Drugs - Red Eyes.
