The original or a cover? Like all things musical, it's subjective, and emotions can play a part....heck, they SHOULD! Keith and I share our personal stories of two recordings. Which one is your go-to?
Never heard either version of the song, nor had I heard of The Plimsouls (I’m giving that album a listen now). I think I prefer the Plimsouls version over GGD after one listen. To be honest I didn’t realize GGD had been making music that long as they only popped into my radar with 1995’s A Boy Named Goo
I couldn't bring myself to even try and listen to that Prince cover. It's too sacred. But a great read here!
"I react more viscerally to rock and roll than to power pop."
Great line. I may have to borrow that one.

I like both versions, but The Plimsouls’ still is my favorite
This just in: Someone on Reddit (of all places!) just dropped this in my lap: A Fu Manchu cover of "A Million Miles Away": https://open.spotify.com/track/29lbsKacBqcjyXcxGo0q8R?si=8bb294bc8ea343e1
I believe this is what the kids today would call thrash metal or something similar!
