Cover Genesis

What is up with rock bands covering cheesy 80’s ballads?

Disturbed covers Genesis’ Land of Confusion

And now Seether covers Wham’s Careless Whisper?!

Seriously, what the hell?!

I went to the the site expecting the Careless Whisper cover to suck, but I thought Seether did a great job on it. Have you heard The Ataris cover of Boys of Summer? Both are examples of good songs in need of a modern face lift

I had always liked Careless Whisper as a song and had often thought what a great song it might have been if only Wham! hadn’t done it. Haven’t you ever thought that about something? What a great movie Terminator II might have been if that walking bully exercise machine in Edward Furlong hadn’t messed it up simply by being a Thai she-male waiting to happen, or of all the great movies that might have been had Keanu Reeves never been born.

If someone redoes something from say, The Beatles, they had better be on their game. Elton John did okay with Lucy in the Sky and Joe Cocker hit it out of the park with Little Help From My Friends, but Guns’n'Roses fell flat with Live and Let Die. Led Zeppelin cannot be and shouldn’t be touched. That Tribute album from 15 years ago proved that, for the most part.

Here is my personal favorite remake.
