Meh... I generally hold to the rule that Patti Smith is best when covered by others... I like her songs, but I just don't like her performances of them...

I'm sure this is plumbed in considerable depth in the pages below, but this is only partially a Patti Smith song. It's mostly a Springsteen composition. Still, IMHO this is the definitive almost-original-not-quite-a-cover rendition.

Like a small amount of Patti Smith. Very small. This one doesn't really make my list, sorry. Rather hear this version as apposed to Natalie Merchants attempt.

I gave it an 8, and then looked at the comments. Happy to meet your criteria!

Dang! Bill is really on a roll this afternoon. Or whenever he put this playlist together. Anyhow...thanks for the reminder that yes, modern popular music can be really great. This is just another example, along with Nirvana, Gillian Welch, The National...on and on

Damn! Wish I could sing like her. Well, not *exactly* like her, but as a guy (a bass, in fact), but with her expression, passion, tonality, etc.
