About cover songs, hmmm....always a touchy subject.
Usually -- some covers sound great, some just flat-out freakin' suck.
Some cover songs I've actually liked:
--Conquest by The White Stripes
(original by Patti Page)
--Enjoy The Silence by Lacuna Coil
(original by Depeche Mode)
--Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson
(original by Eurythmics)
--Personal Jesus by Marilyn Manson
(original by Depeche Mode)
--Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson
(original by Gloria Jones)
Hmmm...I think the only hip-hop cover album I can think of is In Tha Beginning...There Was Rap, which I liked a lot.
I'm sure I could come up w/ some more covers I've liked, later on...
