| The Kinks should still never be covered. You never cover the Village Green Preservation Society. |

@theledhead i still think it sounde good vocally, of course in comparison to the regular version it wasn't good however i think how good it was instrumentally almost makes up for it
@captin van halen was able to cover "you really got me" and it was a lot better than the original i personally think and lol, no one would want to cover owl city because they suck

| Van Halen did a good cover, yes, but you simply can't cover The Kinks' later stuff, like when they became more thematic and mature. |

Manic Street Preachers.
I have yet to see a cover of one of their songs that isn't an incredibly ear-bleeding dance track. |

@regi
I like Owl City, personally. But who else has a voice that could possibly fit with their music? It would be an earsplitting mess if anyone tried. |

| Uh, The Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie sounds like Owl City before Owl City, but Owl City still sounds good. |

I think this is dumb, songs should be covered if a person loves the song a lot, and is good at playing and making music. Only annoying pop stars like p!nk shoulldn't be allowed to destroy it.
remember that bands like Led Zeppelin and pink floyd covered alot of old 'untouchable' songs for the time. |

| My friend who is much older than me was drunk one night and played "Radio, Radio" by Elvis Costello really badly on his old guitar. Very.. uh, interesting experience. I agree with all 3. |

I wouldn't say Metallica because bands have done good 'Tallica covers. Bullet For My Valentine's "Sanitarium", Fightstar's "Leper Messiah", Anthrax's "Sad But True" and "Sanitarium"... -- •∏åPåLM I∏ †H∑ MØ®∏I∏G• |
