    Pretty much any cover of a tears for fears song. For some reason I don't vibe with their sound, but their song writing is really good. Their songs get covered a lot and I like almost all of the covers way better than the original. Hell, even if they themselves play an acoustic version of their songs, I really enjoy it!

    It's not just that he's a piece of shit, it's that he's a whiny bitch about being a piece of shit. "oh please don't give me a hard time for my garbage ass opinions". Fuck the drummer of System of a Down and his apologist guitarist too while we're at it.

    Im gonna be a bit tangental. I don't like much original elvis stuff and I like the beatles but rock matured a lot after them. So often I like remakes of both better than the originals.

    Postmodern Jukebox’s version of We Can’t Stop.

    Their version of Take Me to Church is pretty good, too. Not the the original was bad, but Morgan James just takes it to another level. If you find a live version where it’s just her and a pianist, it’s pretty impressive. Got to see it live awhile back and had chills.

    I Prevail's cover of Taylor swift's Blank Space

    Not that I dislike her music but just not my style of choice.

    Noah Hawley and Jeff Russo did a cover of Don’t Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty for the show Legion that is fantastic, I’ve never liked anything from Tom Petty.

    Leo Moracchioli's cover of Adele's Hello

    I don't hate Adele's, but it's a song that I kind of allow to keep playing if it comes on. Leo's is one I actively choose to play.

    Most covers of Beatles songs. I couldn't get into the hype for the boy band but I like when other people try to spruce up their music a bit. Crucify me.

    Feelings — The Offspring

    The original was played on the radio way too much in the 80s.

    Pet Shop Boys cover of “Where the Streets Have No Name (Can't Take My Eyes Off You)” - it’s a two-fer; both songs are pretty insipid on their own but their cover / mash-up is fantastic.

    This is one where I quite like the original, I hate the Madness cover that made it famous, but I love this more recent version:

    It Must Be Love (Crooked Man remix) - Lady Blackbird

    Running Up That Hill covered by Placebo.

    The original is bland eighties pop. The cover is deeply unsettling in all the ways Placebo are so fucking good at.

    I'm learning Running Up That Hill right now to perform, and "bland" has to be as close to "objectively" incorrect as anything musical can be. The sound is so novel and unique.

    The amount of time and effort and research and diving into deep synth menus to recreate that sound is kinda insane.

    Start with a cello sample. Set the pitch envelope to start with a lower pitch, then quickly slide up to the actual note. Cut off the amp envelope fairly quickly. Make both of those happen slower when lower keys are played. Then delay in some super specific way I still don't quite understand, and reverb too.

    Not to mention the structure of the song is difficult as hell (for me at least) to memorize, it's not quite typical verse chorus back and forth

    I can understand not liking it, but calling it bland is pretty wild to me

    They said the original is bland, not your cover.

    I was talking about the original. Unless you're somehow aware of some recording of me performing a song I have no memory of having ever covered, which would certainly be interesting

    You're talking about recreating the song

    I'm talking about how the original song was made and how complicated the sound was, through a frame of recreating it, in a post about cover songs.

    When discussing how bland a song sounds, the process of creating it is completely irrelevant. All that matters is how the end product sounds. It doesn't matter if a lot of effort went into designing the sound. If it's bland, it's bland.
