These lists always crack me up, b/c most of them are ridiculous.

Really love Manfred Mann's version of Blinded By The Light! I had never heard it before I was 20. Was in a car with a friend when it came on and she argued that it was the original version. I still dont care for it. Guess I had heard the Springsteens version too many times. It's still Springsteens only #1 single in the US. |

It's funny you say that , I had the same argument with a girl in my car way back when , she swore Jose feliciano wrote" light my fire ". When I finally convinced her its the doors swear to god I had to get my album to show her Jim didn't write it ... |

Springsteen's original failed to chart.  But you're right, it's all down to nostalgia. I've been hearing the Manfred Mann version since I was a small kid so I love it. Mannfred Mann's Earth Band is one band that I feel is criminally underrated. They created some absolute classic albums, for those who aren't very familiar with their music I highly recommend them! Especially "Angel Station" and "The Roaring Silence". Two of their best albums. |

They also did Spirit in the Night and For You. I think For You was a big hit for them too but nowhere near as successful as Blinded by the Light |

Threw me off for a second. |

I bet that that threw you I like spotify I must say I just started using it a month ago and my free trail is over. I re-upped for the $10 definitely think its worth it. Ive been listening to a lot of stuff I normally wouldnt have listened to. |

Manfred Mann's version butchers a great song. I'll never understand how people prefer watered-down crap like that to the real thing.
