Well, ya learn something new every day...one of my favorite songs of last year turns out to be a cover.

Green Day Released "Working class Hero" in '07...I never realized till tonight that it was on the Broken English Album...shows you how long its been since I listened to Marianne Faithful...

Looked into it...It was first released by John Lennon....in 1970....seems to be a song for any generation...

...ya learn somethin new every day!

I like that song they wrote for the Mitsubishi ad, "Hard rain's a gonna fall."

Yeah I used to be a hardcore Green Day fan, like so hardcore it wasn't funny. Until one day i discovered Bullet For My Valentine, and now I listen to screamo music.

Apparently

That was written and recorded by Bob Dylan. Pete Seeger also recorded a great cover of it, though I forget which album it was on - possibly his Carnegie Hall live album.

Wasn't the Roxy Music version the one that made it famous?
