To mark the death of Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty, acknowledged here on Tuesday, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters dug out an old cover of the late great’s biggest hit, ‘Baker Street.’
The Foos’ cover of ‘Baker Street’ originally appeared way back in 1998 as a b-side to their ‘My Hero’ single (this being back in the days when physical singles actually existed, although most were on CD by then, thus rendering the term ‘b-side’ technically obsolete).

no way, they've changed their sound, sure, but Dave has got a real knack for writing good 'Alt Rock' or whatever you would call their last couple albums

A few months ago a local radio station around where I go to college trashed this version because it had no sax. I thought it was unwarranted, because this is a pretty excellent interpretation of the song, in my opinion.
