*holding his ears* is it over? Please Lord is it over yet? What have you done to punish me Scher!

Whew! after listening to that perfect example of a 2/10, I was in desperate need of this little number:

Here is my favorite Erasure song:

I prefer the second Erasure song, especially since he's wearing his trousers.

Speed?.. Well relatively speaking on the old cycle..

7/10. It's been a long time since I heard this.

Put down the knife and relax before you listen.

Suppose it depends. If you're on a steep hill, with no brakes, I bet you could work up quite a speed.

10/10: This song is great, fantastic, awesome three ways from Sunday.

Time for me to hit repeat!

And after that's done, maybe a little more is in order:

Hmm, it's nice, I don't think it's something I would choose to listen to. I kind of got bored of it after 4 mins. 5.5/10:p

Nice, 8.5/10.

I don't know how the video fits with the song but this was the best sounding version I could find.

My feeling is that if you've got Blood on the Tracks, you've got all the Dylan you need. I know that to some this is the equivalent of saying that if you've got the Sermon on the Mount, you don't need much more of Jesus' stuff, but there you go.... 4/10

I'm always surprised by how strong this is, even thirty years later...

BLASPHEMER!!!!:D

As for Broken English, I was never a big fan of that synth-pop sound and her voice actually annoys me in this song, so 2/10 (I would give it a 1 if not for some of her other work)

How about a little Tom Waits?

What a great opening line. Not many singers can tell a story like The Boss. 9/10.

Next up is my favorite version of St. James Infirmary, performed by Bobby "Blue" Bland

That's oddly compelling. I shall go back to that. 8/10

What I always liked most about this lot was the feeling that they've all know each other since they were six. Oh, and the music.

It's a little middle of the road. The bar is set pretty high for skinny, sensitive Brits. I'll leave it at that.

Interesting. I'm not sure about it. I think it would be one of those songs that I download to my iPod, but don't listen to unless I'm in the right mood. And I'm not sure what that mood would be.

7/10

Here's a good one for ya.

That's beyond criticism. It's pretty much beyond scoring. However - 9/10.

And talking of unlikely but brilliant covers....
