Ann Wilson is a monster vocalist, must have been slightly intimidating in front of the three guys.
Anyway, just watched a documentary on Stevie Ray Vaughn, he just kills it on this tune.

This probably won't work, but long ago when I had some weirdness happening, 'switching users' back to myself seemed to clear it up. Worth a try, but I only give it 5% (max) chance of working.

I guess I am somewhat un-PC now 
Duplicates are fair enough, and this is a quite decent duplicate. If I have both the original and the duplicate available, which one would I choose? Would I listen to both?
For some tunes, I love both the original and a cover version, and I listen to both with great pleasure. Even though they are the same lyrics, same melody, the performances are so different that they are completely different musical works. Completely different musical experiences.
My most obvious example is Sidsel Endresen and Bugge Wesseltoft doing Paul Simon's "There must be fifty ways to leave your lover", at Sidsel Endresen: Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover[^]. Even after having grown up with the original (at Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover[^], I think the Endresen/Wesseltoft is such a different version that is is like a different work altogether. I fully enjoy both in their own right. They are not contestants.
I am "impressed" by Heart's ability to duplicate. But would I choose their version over the original? No. Maybe you would reject Endresen/Wesseltoft for the Paul Simon original - that is fair enough, but the reason why you reject it is not because it is an unfaithful copy of the original, but because you do not like their highly original performance.
I love both performances, both the original and Endresen/Wesseltoft. The latter is definitely not an attempt to make a duplicate of the former.

Thank you very much for your nuanced answer!

I can think of one cover that I prefer over the original: Nobody Does It Better[^] by David Sanborn featuring Oleta Adams doing the vocals, where the original[^] was performed by Carly Simon.
I really like Carly Simon, but Oleta nails that song.

I've been using it for years. You know, learn your short cuts? So Microsoft rolls out an update and it doesn't work any more. So I fix it. And it breaks again.
I'm cranky, I admit it. I have no kitchen, the sink is late, my bride wants her kitchen before Christmas. But FFS!!! did Microsoft just jettison QA?
It's getting worse... crap, I'm going to go find a Unix job needing a security clearance....

It works fine on my Surface (Win 11 21H2 22000.318)
And it works fine on my Desktop (Win 10 21H1 19043.1348)
I just tested it on both, so what update are you using?

The latest. Wait one. This is just so d*** funny it's hysterical.
Finally I remember the command to find the version. It's winver - so 21H1. I have no problem finding ads to update to what microsoft is pushing, but these clowns. There is no button or easy link to "what version is installed on your computer"? God help people who don't know as much as we do. I'm current. That elephanting update was a walking train wreck for me.
I'm sure there is some fix, but why do they make users suffer? Just do your job.

Didn't try it with the virtual KB - it takes up too much screen real estate so I don't use it unless I have to.

I had an update yesterday and it still works fine, does the same thing -- allows capturing a screenshot of a selected region.
What I don't like is that all the system sounds have changed.

I know! Grrr. Why would it matter? The OS update broke One Note and *I* need to fix this? Seriously, if you took your car into a shop for a brake job and all of your tires went flat....
Not angry at you fellow CPer's , but random stuff like this, I'm done giving a pass to Microsoft. I'd go out to the clown help forum, but their answers are so pathetic it's beyond expressing a professional opinion. I'd post a simian tossing things, but that's a bit crude. If anyone from MS reads this, I'm available for a free consultation. I'll give you 30 minutes. Best bring your big boy pants and hip waders. Bring the guy who decided rebooting machines without permission. Please.
The hot key sequence belongs to One Note. Last I heard, an MS product. If an OS update broke this, I want the video of the one note team pounding whoever broke it. FFS, it's a public interface (code wise). You don't to this.
Yeah, I'm bitching. I have no kitchen, my mother in law is ripping me a new one, and I don't know what's for dinner.
 <--- at me. Mother in law truth. Sorry CP, over 20 years, y'all have become family. I honestly mean that. I'll shut up now.
Y'all have a great weekend. In Atlanta, we're expecting 70 degree temperatures (21+ to you metric types). Major football games on and life will continue. And now that I replaced the driver from MS, my laptop runs now.
I'll get me coat.

No. Better not. I like to use that as an insult too much. Usually something like if that jelly had ended up in a pond, some people would be awesome frogs now.

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky[^]
A friend and I have been sharing music for the last two weeks.
One album within a specific theme each day.
We came up with the themes up front, put them in a jar, and simply grab a random one each day.
We've got 60's, autumn, chill, Dutch, music we know from our parents...
Now I had to think real hard in that last category as my parents rarely listen to music.
For some reason they stopped doing that after I was born (or maybe earlier, but they've got quite a collection from when they were younger).
Nevertheless I came up with an album that they listened to quite a lot, unfortunately my friend had the same album and I had to come up with a new one (really, what are the odds!?)
Ultimately, I went for Mike Oldfield, but my first choice was The Alan Parsons Project.
My parents had this best of CD that opened with an intro (Sirius) and then moved on to Eye in the Sky.
Needless to say, good memories, great song, SOTW

I wasn't even 10 at that time, but I remember this song surprisingly well.
I used to play with my father's turntable and cassette recorder, and build my own compilations, of whatever I could gather from my family's discs and those I could afford whenever I got some allowance. I'm pretty sure I would find that title in one of those boxes I stored and never went back to ever since.
Thanks for that nostalgic window

This was released long before I was even born 
I did the same with my parents CD's, but also with the radio, and I used a cassette recorder instead of turntables.
The first album I bought with my own allowance was something completely different though, Toy-Box[^]
