Gotta love the Floyd!

I heard there's a new cover of it by someone who did a sh1tty, sh1tty job.
Yeah, Jonathan Davis from Korn. I liked the one from a few years back more, but nothing can touch the original. Why must people remake songs that don't need it?

I love that song. My dad got me hooked on folk-ish music like that. America, Gordon Lightfoot, etc.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald kicks ass, but it always makes me a little misty because my grandfather was one of the sailors that was on the ship.
 
the U.S. No.1 on the 11th March 1981 was... I Love a Rainy Night by Eddie Rabbitt
the U.K. No.1 on the 11th March 1981 was... Shaddap You Face by Joe Dolce Music Theatre

Eddie Rabbitt, Joe Dolce Music Theater? WTF!?! Dude, what was going on that day? Has anyone heard either of these songs before?
 
In both the US and UK, the No.1 on the 17th February 1983 was...
Down Under by Men At Work

Oh Sheila by Ready for the World was #1 on the US charts. Generic 80's crap.
