I hate to criticize any artist and hey points for trying but, this doesn't work. It's true that the original was edgy verging on grating but the sweetness still came through, wasn't that kind of the point? No need to beat us over the head with it by drowning it in syrup. I like the "thinking person's easy listening" vibe of RP but this is a little too kitsch for me. See cat power's version of Satisfaction for how to do this kind of thing the right way, IMHO.
Agree, something is lost in this cover.
10 here!
Even though their music is obviously boring, monotonic, repetitive, souless, whiny, "thud and drone".

fitting moniker mate.
edit: hot wind.
Great guitar: crunchy, rolling riffs. Gord rolling his lyrics off so smooth. 10/10
The story behind his career and music is tragic. Anyone who hasn't watched the documentary on him is missing out.
This always springs to mind now!
Edit: Gave it a 10
