Cover songs. what are your thoughts?

I'm so peeved by all the cover albums! rod steward, angelis, that guy from X factor, blonde opera lady, male opera group...

What's the point? i'll gladly allow crappy music on tv, as long as its their own music and not something that someone else wrote or a song that's been out for years or been covered for the umpteenth time. and if i hear one more cover of an english pop song with the lyrics translated to italian when it just being sung by an english group, i'll kick asses.

a cover song here or there, fine. especially if it's an interpretation of an old song. but if theyre going to sing a song in hopes tha it sounds like the original, which frankly, it does, then whats thew point?

It's hard for me to accept any version of a song other than the one I heard first. If I hear a cover first, sometimes I might like it more than the original. When I find out it's a cover, I feel a little disappointed.

I agree, but I would take it even a bit further. I think that most covers that try to interpret things in a different way just plain suck and should not be allowed.|||there are very few cover songs i like, and they're mostly when they take an old song and make something entirely different with it, even different genres.|||I agree that there seems to be loads of rubbish cover versions at the moment - actually not at the moment, for the last 5 years or something. But they are sometimes phenomenal, better than the original. If you want an example, listen to any of Johnny Cash's last recordings, his versions of Hurt, The Mercy Seat, Danny Boy - genius, absolute genius.
