Got the Time
Honestly? Anthrax took a really good stab at a great song -- but I just love the original too much. Sorry.

The original is perfect..BUT! Anthrax's cover is 'double-perfect'. I can't use any other words but 'perfect' for the original but my vote goes to Anthrax!!

Wow, anyone who thinks the cover is better than the original is a total douche. Originality and authorship always beats mimicry and technical ability. And that goes for Yoyo Ma being able to play Mozart, too!

I expected to like Anthrax better, but this is one case where the original proves true! Both are excellent, but I pick JOE!

Anthrax is far superior. They bring unique rhythmic chugs to the song. Too far great.

I just recently got into Joe Jackson and was surprised to hear this song! I recall Anthrax's version very well, but I have to say I like the original better. :)

I am in the metal scene since the late 70's but I am an open minded person. I knew this song long time before Anthrax covered it and I like it. Anthrax played it with a marvellous sense of humour and to be honest with the same feeling. I like them both. Thanks Anthrax.

Like most I just found out that Anthrax was doing a cover! I just saw the video on Metal Mania on VH! Classic last Saturday. Then the other night VH1 Classic had a Joe Jackson concert from 1979. He finished the show with this one and it rocked. I have to say I like both in their own right. Why doesn't more bands find songs to cover and update like this one.

I heard the Anthrax version first but I love the orgiginal. Listen to the Live version from Live 80-86, it's even faster than the Anthrax version and the bassist goes nuts!

Both versions have their charms, and even though I heard the Anthrax version first, Joe Jackson's original gets the nod. Look Sharp is an absolute 5-star album -- all killer, no filler!
