Nonsense to the aggressiveness, I've seen more aggression on the my little pony message board......I mean I was told.

This one beats all of those, for me:

Unfortunately the Kristin Hersh is not available here but I'll root around...

Of those on the poll, it's clearly Cat. Not that the other two do a bad job per se, they just don't transcend it enough that I'd rather hear it than one of their own songs. I consider them both to be far superior songwriters to Cat Stevens, though that is one of his better songs.

The only one that takes it to a personal place is Hersh. One of the better performances I've hear from her, in fact.

I found Hersh, I hope this is the same version as Charlie's.



I'm afraid I don't care for her voice.

Kristin Hersh's version is great, but she wasn't an option, so it's the original.

Both other artists are better off singing their own stuff (with the exception of Elliott Smith's gorgeous version of Because)

Other than that, I prefer Lowell George's song. 8-)

first the smart ass answer:

because I seldom miss a chance to be a smart ass & I think it's a dynamite track.

then the serious answer because Cat Stevens "Trouble" is a serious song.
Cat and then that Kristen gal.

I love the guy's voice. His songs are good but I don't know how well they travel since his voice is so distinctive.
huh? what?
something like that.
