Mighty Quinn

DAY 19

"Mighty Quinn"
by Gotthard

There are few things in life that I enjoy more than an unexpected cover of a great song. So when I found out that Manfred Mann's classic "Mighty Quinn" hadn't just been covered, but had been covered by a Swiss hard rock band named Gotthard, well, you just know it hard to go into a Soundtrackers entry somewhere. I don't even feel all that "guilty" about this Guilty Pleasure because it's straight up awesome.

Sadly, Gotthard is apparently a reference to the Saint-Gotthard Massif mountain range in the Swiss Alps, which is decidedly less hardcore than what I initially assumed their name was in reference to.
