And I'm not saying that the original is bad. You have to have a good song to have a good cover in my opinion. But sometimes the cover artist just understands the mission and takes what the original song did and expands on that a hundred times over.

What're some of your guys's favorites?

My absolute favorite is Hailstorm doing Daft Punks Get Lucky.

I also really like The Interrupters doing Bad Guy.

The Cleverlys have a lot of really good, over the top, bluegrass covers but I think my favorite might be Party Rock Anthem.

I could keep going on this subject for a while. I have a 12+ hour and growing playlist of nothing but covers that I really enjoy.

Do mashups count? Chris Cornell's One (Metallica and U2) https://youtu.be/uTJxAdrnkP4

Zebrahead did a cover of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.

It's an amazing music clip too.

Small town boy by Paradise Lost. https://open.spotify.com/track/0jfNgP8sP2tnOloYDw0HoM?context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A1lvVqodR4aT3R8WemeIgDN

The original is iconic, and there are almost too many covers of it to take it in. But Paradise Lost takes it in a different direction.

Same as Wicked Game by HIM. https://open.spotify.com/track/5XenUjG7cRnTkUe8AVuuMX

Ghost- If You Have Ghosts

For as long as I've known it I've preferred the version of Ghost's Cerice done by Saint Raven, a much less known band out of Utah.
