Ahh yes. Whats better than a good (or bad) song that gets redone only to sound better? I'm sure you could thing of a slew of things that are better, but well just say "nothing" at this point. It is quite a bold move to cover someone else's work. Sometimes it can be flattering and in some ways offending.
However they may be taken, there have been some absolutely ground-breaking covers. There has been instances where people thing the cover is the original and are totally oblivious to the original. Funny huh?.
Here are 10 of my favorite covers. There are bands in this list that I absolutely can't stand, but I have to give credit to their covers.
Snag the MP3 of them (if provided). Hope you enjoy them!
