    The Eagles cover wasn't horrid, but it was written by Tom so the Eagles cover got Tom a bunch of new fans once they got curious and heard "Better Off Without A Wife".

    Guess it's a matter of opinion. I am willing to concede a bit and call the Eagles version "tepid." But that is as far as I can go. And to repeat myself from the country rock thread ....

    On this matter, I agree with The Dude, or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing. (NSFW language)

    Mothers Finest version Of Airplane's Somebody to Love. Baby Jean Kennedy ROCKS!!!

    If you like straight up loud rock n roll and you have never listened to MF, give them a look see. Saw them open for Aerosmith and they blew them out of the water.
