[ul] [li]Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door is the worst song ever.[/li][li]There are a ton of good CD rippers. The one I like: [CDex](http://www.cdex.n3.net/) – it’s free and works well. I’ve ripped 200+ of my CDs with it.[/li][li]For fixing id tags, try [Tag & Rename](http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm). The site appears to be down or it’s the wrong site, so use Google if needed. Much faster than fixing tags by hand, it goes to the cddb to check for correct tags as well as a host of other things. It’s not free, but had a 30 day free demo last time I tried it.[/li][/ul] ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > And it’s really being sung by Guns ‘N’ Roses, which would have been apparent to anyone who had ever heard Guns ‘N’ Roses. That reminds me. I heard Paint It Black on the radio, and somebody told me it was by Eric Burdon and the Animals. But this was obviously the Rolling Stones version so I said something like “don’t you know the Stones when you hear them!?” ---

How’d I miss this earlier? > [@CanvasShoes](#): > > Though I’m kindof glad that Dylan WAS around and DID have such a bad, mumbly voice, it made for a pretty funny skit on SNL where Bob Dylan and Tom Petty are on a talk, or game show, and no one else can understand them. There’s also an episode of “King of the Hill” where Dylan was having a conversation with Boomhauer. ---

> [@Ogre](#): > > You’re both wrong. Bukka White sang that long before Country Joe. 🙂 Interesting trivia, but we were specifically discussing the Woodstock version. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > And then there’s the dipshit I met in the embassy bar in Warsaw who got all belligerant with me about who sang “Feel I’m Fixin’ To Die”. He insisted that it was Arlo Guthrie, while I was equally adamant (correctly) that it was Country Joe and The Fish. Fucker bet me $50, knowing that there was no way to prove him wrong in (at that time) communist Poland. > > So if you’re reading this post, asshole, you owe me $50. I remember that night. I’m sure **you’re** the one who claimed it was Arlo Guthrie and I had it right. So in fact, you owe _me_ $50. Payable in USD please… 🆒 ---

(1) I strongly resent those who claim all “unauthorized” file-sharers are cheapskates or greedy bastards. Most people I know who only download music do so because they’re freakin’ pissed at the RIAA telling them what they can and can’t listen to. It’s civil disobedience, people, like America in 1776 or India in 1945. (2) Sticking to the OP: “Come on Eileen” and “Video Killed the Radio Star” are NOT by The Cure! Similarly, “Rock You Like a Hurricane” is NOT by AC/DC. (3) Dylan sucks. Accept it. ---

> [@KGS](#): > > “Come on Eileen” and “Video Killed the Radio Star” God, yes. Why can’t these people just for once credit Robert Wagner? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stuck-in-the-middle-with-you-is-not-by-bob-dylan/228106.md?page=3)
