I have a certain amount of sentimental attachment to it, CF, so I'm probably biased.

I was casually acquainted with Chris and Glenn and I saw them perform an impromptu acoustic version at one of my late brother's parties. It was a brilliant evening and one of the last times I saw him alive.

Scrolling through and reading this I thought you were on about Chris Waddle and Glenn Hoddle.

Diamond lights now theres an 80s classic!

Now, Buce, you've gone and reminded me of this one....

(Technically 1970s, but a logical follow-in):

Now this is a discovery. I've been listening to music by a band called The KGB for well over a decade and yet until I saw this post I was completely unaware that one of their songs which I've always considered original content was in fact a mandatory 80's song cover.

So, now you know, Carl, which version do you prefer?

Considering I've only just discovered the original my innate bias is heavily swung towards the cover version. Which isn't to say I don't enjoy listening to the mellower Squeeze version, it's just... different. You're more likely to get a meaningful, non-evasive answer out of me in a few months when my ears are equally familiar with both versions of the song.
