I like Bogan Rock Gods as much as the next ghostly fraud poet but Gunners version of Knocking is an abortion. Nirvana are just an overarted zeitgeist band, Joe Cocker is a Baby Boomer Idiot Icon, Jimi Hendrix is, lets say it, an over rated mess and the Hallelujah done by anybody is THE WORST SONG EVER, I'd rather here "Who Let the Dogs Out"! Fair Dinkum!
