Thoughts:

Bob Dylan was born to sing vengeful music. Things We Said Today sounds a lot more fitting in his voice.

The Airborne Toxic Event track was excellent. I always like Mikel's voice in everything.

Heart is awful.

Billy Joel improved on neither song, but they sounded good. Those are two really crisp songs, though. More credit goes to McCartney than Joel there -- his ear for original riffs is underrated.

Chrissie Hynde blew the rest out of the water. Again, good material to work with. And I suspect she would have been paced by Booker T on the bonus tracks, but that doesn't seem to be included and I couldn't find the cover.
