Cover Songs!
What are some versions that you like, maybe even more than the original? My most noted one is "Blue Monday" by Orgy. I actually heard the original months after the cover and I did not like it.
Other covers I've liked have been:
- Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson (liked the original & The Scorpions's version)
- Don't You Forget About Me - Billy Idol (liked the original too)
- Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm (+ original)
- Ruby Tuesday - Scorpions (+ original)
- The Joker - Puddle of Mudd (+ original)
- Electric Avenue - Powerman 5000 (+ original)
- Metro - System of a Down (+ original)
I'm sure I have others but I can't think of them now.
Last Resort - Falling in Reverse (original by Papa Roach)
Wicked Game - Widowspeak
Tyler Joseph's cover of Twenty-Four by Switchfoot
Miyoki & Veela - cover (Peru by fireboy)
Merrigan & Veela - Gloomy Winters Noo Awa
The instrumental version alone for Alan's Morissette's version of 'King of pain' hits a sweet spot of melancholy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfM5p5rywRo which the original by The Police/Sting only kind of hinted at the surface of..something similar could be said about Mad world by Tears for fears in contrast to the rich piano which Gary Jules brought to it..both 'seductively cryptic' for different reasons
