Not feeling it...whatever, ****'s all subjective. Deep voice start reminds me of lolQueensryche covering Scarborough Fair.

It's not bad. It's just meh. To say it's in the top 5 covers of all time is pretty lol, given:

exist. This is doesn't hold a candle to any of those.

On the plus side, it's better than these abominations:

Listened to the whole thing. I would go so far as to say it was bad.

This is my bias of live performances vs studio recorded stuff, but I liked the Conan version way more.

Cool song. The original (and S&G in general) is one of my all time favorites.

Wow, that's fantastic. The original S&G version has been on my top rated list forever and has one of my top fifty all-time songs, and I normally hate all covers of stuff I've listened to a thousand times, but that's just terrific. Going out to by the cassette tape now!

I have used "revert" ever since I lived in the UK in 2008. It's a little foofy for use here in USA no 1, but I still use it.

howard,

if you mean using it in place of 'reply', that's not foofy, it's flat out incorrect.

I use it as "I will pick up a previous topic that has been dropped as necessary," which I thinks correct but mildly pretentious. You're of course correct that it is not a synonym for "respond" or "reply."

Revert doesn't bother me that much. "Circle back" otoh is one of those foofy jargon buzzwords that shouldn't make me want to go scanners on people, but it does.
