Nothing can really compare to the original...Or can it?
90% of the time I hate, no I loathe cover songs. Under special circumstances I will bend to a worthy song. First of all if it's Pop, Hip-Hop, or R&B it gains points when covered by a rocker. That's just me, but it is what it is. Second, it has to bring something new to the table. It can not be an exact cover or I immediately hate it. Lastly, if you can beat it, stomp that MF into the ground! Sometimes I will listen to a cover simply because I like the original, but it's not socially acceptable in my circles😆
I honestly think that a good cover should be a stand alone song; meaning that if you weren't as old as I am you may not even know that it's not an original. The sad thing is that some of you may not know that these are covers and I may cause some cerebral damage and for that I am truly sorry. Let's get this show on the road. P.S. The original is contained in the link of the band name 😉
