    The original song was a Swedish, obscure one.

    Polish cover that was a big hit in Poland is vastly superior than the original from Serbia. The melody even differs a little bit (the chorus is better). In Sama it seems as if they were lacking syllables to fill the melody ...

    This version is better than the Mark Morrison original IMO:

    While I absolutely love the original by Uriah Heep, this cover here is not only immensely well done, but the musical style is much more fitting to the lyrics and general theme of the song.




    This one manages to have a slightly better guitar sound than the original. I really have to give Rogers credit here, because it`s far from an easy feat, to actually improve a Summoning song.

    Possibly the best cover of anything Dylan.

    What a fucking lineup, too!
