Lately I’ve been going through my music collection and looking for song remakes or covers as I like to call them. What is a cover song some might be asking?
Well a cover song is where a recent band takes a song from an older artist or group and remakes it with a newer sound or a few added tweaks but for the most part, the band will stay true to the original song.
Here are a few of what I consider to be exceptionally well done covers:
- Abracadabra – by Steve Miller Band – Covered by Sugar Ray
- Send Me An Angel – by Real Life – Covered by Thrice
- Smooth Criminal – by Michael Jackson – Covered by Alien Ant Farm
- Land Of Confusion – by Genesis – Covered by Disturbed
So now I call out to my readers who are music lovers.
What cover songs do you like? What songs from the past do you wish a newer band would cover?
