I'll go with Emmylou on this one.
She did a fine cover of that song, imo. And after hearing the Beatles' original so many times, I find it refreshing to hear what other artists do with a Beatles tune.

Here, There and Everywhere, Beatles
Tom, I have to admit that I didn't know Janet's version was totally based/sampled on the Luther Vandross song from 1980! Complete ignorance.
This reminds me of the discussion we had last week about "Angel of the Morning"
Opinion: They're both awesome. Janet's Rhythm Nation album (I think this is from that) was great. Luther.. maximum soul... A bit too disco for my taste, but rocks anyway!

Theme From An Imaginary Western, Jack Bruce version from Songs From A Tailor (this one is not that)
Until I got the JB version, way way back when, I would have been all in for Mountain, probably the best "legato" guitar break...of all time? Rumour at that remote time was that Jack Bruce actually sang this tune on the Mountain LP...guess he actually wrote it!
en.wikipedia.org
I was into Colosseum from Day 1, bought their first album right off the turntable at our local music store! (1969?). Never knew they did this,
but it just sounds kind of busy to me, back off on the drums (Jon Hiseman, RIP) Good filler during a concert, but not in the running for me. That was about the only exposure we had to the band, not on the radio, not even on WBCN-Boston-104.1...

Bruce Springsteen, the original:
Johnny Cash, the cover:
Johnny Cash all the way for me, he really makes it his own...

Agreed. It's almost like the Cash version is the original and Springsteen did a cover of it.
