    I was disappointed with Lenny's take on American Woman. It's ok, but I prefer Burton Cummings.

    I have a thing about female singers turning songs written by men into lesbian songs.Teenage Kicks in Sugar Rush is a good example

    Terrible!!

    I thought they did a good job. They are poppish but still they have beautiful voices.
    Thanks harrison. Maybe you should take your beatbox down the street and eat some acid you silly pervert.

    I always hated hearing Alien Ant Farm's cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal"....I was never a fan of theirs but it especially got me mad because I felt they got famous by covering that song not from their own, original songs...I feel like that violates some sort of unwritten rule--a band must be good and established before they cover a song.

    I thought this was a good cover too... didn't touch the original but it was done very well.

    311 covering Love Song.

    Robert Smith should go all... south park.. on them..

    robert smith should use robot punch and beat the shit out of them for that one.

    seriously..

    one gorgeous song.. and they made a terrible, souless, reggae cover of it..

    you know what sounds good as reggae music..?

    REGGAE MUSIC... nothing else...

    and no 311 aren't reggae.

    christ.


    They do a wonderful job... you people are so angry about people doing covers. I see it as compliments... And these are pretty good jobs some of them.

    I've just been reminded of this : http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=1833&CAT=movies&NSFW=3&rtn=search-1833&Keywords=london%20underground

    Not really a cover of Going Underground by The Jam cos they've only used the tune and changed the words. It's pretty bad but still sorta funny..these guys have a real downer on British Rail :D

    Fair enough. Well all have our opinions I suppose. But to hate a song just because it is a cover is unfair.

    ok so I was working today and this guy came in and asked for a copy of Amy Lee doing Heart Shaped Box. What is up with this?? I mean it was bad enough for her idiot boyfriend to constantly try to evoke the spirit of St. Kurt by doing covers of Nirvana songs on a nightly basis, that is of course after recording three cds that sound like a shitty bar band doing versions of Bleach (if Bleach fucking sucked). I appreciate that there is no accounting for taste and all but seriously.


    both evanescence and seether rule fucking ass.

    no, they both need some originality before they can recieve any recognition. Did anyone see seether open-up for Audioslave? They had two glass-stained window frames that strickingly resembled the cover of In Utero and then had the blatent audacity to cover Drain You, I was disgusted to say the least.

    What is so unoriginal about evanessense? And please explain to me why someone needs to be original before they can recieve recognition? So Pearl Jam will only recieve recognition for their original songs. We cannot think that any covers are good?
