Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light

NOOOOOOO!! This song is such a horrible remake of a Springsteen classic.

NOOOOOOO!! This song is such a horrible remake of a Springsteen classic.

I thought the thread was about openings to rock songs. If that's the case, IMO, the Earth Band's version is far superior with the keyboards leading the intro to the song then Bruce on his acoustic Guitar. Of course, that's just my opinion.

If we are talking Springsteen, the opening I like best is probably Born To Run. To me, you know it the minute you hear it, that lead in with the drums and then the rest come in and it gets your blood going immediately. This is not his best vocal but I love the live crowed and how they help him on the song cause he's played out.

Here's another Scorps tune. This is a very distinctive intro as well.
