Day 15: A song you like that's a cover

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace by Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick didn't perform all that many covers, really, and they made their reputation on the strength of their uncommonly fine original material... and yet somehow this cover is my fave of all their recordings. I love the production trick in the intro that makes the drums approach from the distance, everyone's performance is stellar (one of Robin's finest vocals ever, in particular) and they give the song an undeniable hypnotic power. It was only by paying attention to the composer credits that I realized that this was a cover -- I was not at all familiar with the original version or its creator, and in fact many decades passed before I ever managed to hear it.
