I'm listening to Annie and not you critics of Neil, Annie and the excellent resulting product. I'm happy...wish you were too.

I usually love her voice, but this sounds like amature night at some sleazy bar.

Knowing Bill G repeats play blocks, and knowing that this song is almost over, I'm bracing myself... OH NO! NEIL! Uhg. Get me outta here!!! |

I tend to agree. Bill is on an interesting cover thing tonight, and this is one of those "I like it, but give me the original" things. |

Gotta agree, Queue, that FWS version excelled.
Loved the David Crosby numbers on it, also.

I've always liked this song. I think my favorite version is on CSN&Y's "Four Way Street." Raw and live and stripped down to nothing.
This is an interesting cover, but I think I like it better with Neil at the mic.

And Neil isn't whiny and screechy? Good lord! I respect Neil as a songwriter, but I can't stand listening to him sing.
Aw, crap, the song's over, and now Neil is singing something. Time to switch... |

Sounds manufactured and mechanical in comparison to Neil's version. The pain is missing.

absolutely haunting version...Annie Lennox nails it, and without bringing down Neil one little bit.

I guess it does sound like Neil if he had sexual reassignment surgery!  No offense intended ladyj. I just don't hear the resemblance. |

This is actually the only song I do like by Annie Lennox, save for the Eurythmics first hit, Sweet Dreams.

I've never heard this until today. Nice. At first I thought it was Neil. She almost has the same pitch. The first time I ever heard this song from Neil was live from the 1971 bbc concert I saw on tv (which I have now). I really like how his guitar was tuned.

It's actually from her 1995 album Medusa, which is all covers. |

Yay! One of my uploads got played. I love Niel Young, and it is refreshing to hear his amazing lyrics in a different style.
