1. Priest, all the way.

[MuseRider]

2. I had never heard

Judas Priest do it and I like it!

I have to go with Joan Baez. This came out just after my love of 5 years called me to tell me he had gotten married and was moving to Hawaii. I was so immersed in working on my music degree I had missed all the clues, I was hit like I had been hit by a car. This song was important to me.

I do not know much about Molly Tuttle but I do not like her voice on this recording anyway. It seems too fragile and iffy. Whatever, that is just what I think.

Judas Priest, wow. When I saw that I had to listen to it first, I could not imagine.

12. I was probably 23 before I found out that song was a cover

I thought it was a Priest original for years.

I actually like the original quite a bit now though.

And as much as I love Molly (Spoiler alert, I love her a lot) I have to agree that her voice is too delicate & pretty to give this lyric the horsepower it needs.

Rob Halford on the other hand crushes it

15. The original is heart-twisting

The other two are fine - it's a good song - though I don't know why Molly Tuttle made subtle changes to the lyrics that weaken them slightly.

But the original is so strong I actually feel that I am standing in the snow at Washington Square with heartbreak lying straight ahead.

9. Priest.

Halford destroys on that song.

[BluesRunTheGame]

13. First Aid Kit covered it back in 2012.

I voted for Joan.

16. Joan would have won on one line alone--

“Speaking strictly for me we both could have died then and there”
