Poll question: Who had the best hit single called FIRE? |
|
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 07:41 PM by NightTrain
For the uninitiated, these are three completely different songs with the same title.

3. Anyone who picks anything other than Arthur Brown is insane. |

4. The Boss's live cover of the Pointer Sisters' "Fire" |
|
It was on his big box set in the 80's ... great song.

9. Actually, it's Springsteen's song. |
|
He wrote it -- the Pointer Sisters covered it.

11. Well, color me corrected! I had no idea ... |
|
I always wondered why it sounded so damn good when he sang it ... it just seemed to be a natural fit for him. Now I know why. :)

12. Hey, for years I said I liked his cover |
|
of Patti Smith's 'Because The Night,' and only found out a few months ago that he co-wrote the song with Patti. I know the feeling!

15. Damn ... 2 in one night! Thanks! |

I've never been more than a casual Springsteen fan, though I do consider "Thunder Road" to be one of the best songs of all time. I love finding out stuff I didn't know. I'm going to have to look into what other songs he's written for others.

18. Both 'Blinded By The Light' |
|
and '(I Came) For You' were covered by Mannfred Mann's Earth Band back in the seventies. I think there were other Springsteen songs they did, too, though none was any more successful than 'Blinded By The Light.'

24. BTN should have been on the Darkness album |
|
a live version he does from dec 14(?), 1978 at the winterland in oakland is the best version of the song you would ever hear. i have the show on tape somewhere a round the house.
it was a great show that night, i was 23 and my mom actually got me my ticket as a christmas present.
