Voted The Drifters but I'll own up to also liking the George Benson version a lot too.

Just to be contrary, I voted for Gary Numan. "I can play this here guitar..." Gary, there's not a guitar within a hundred miles of your recording!

Tough call, but I had to go with George Benson.

I'm not exactly sure what I did, but Eric Carmen was initially on my list.

In reality I agree with John, but I had to cast my vote for Gary. He did a great job of adapting the song to his style (which is far more than I can say for his embarrassing rendition of Prince's "1999"...ugh!), and I love the synth outro.

George Benson...the 10 minute version...by a MILE.

I am a
huuuuge Neil Young fan, but frankly I don't care much for Neil's cover version of this song. Sorry, Geff.
Is there an option to vote for "
The Clash - On Broadway " ?
Seriously, when I hear the title "On Broadway" I think of George Benson right off the bat, so my vote would have to go to him

I'm not a huge fan of Neil's version either, but I really don't like any of the others!
