What do you think of covered songs? Most songs that are covered by todays artists are absolutely horrid. An all grown up Hanson covered Radiohead's Optimistic. It's disturbing that mmm boppers covered a song from an album that is, in my eyes, perfect in a gloomy sort of way.

Although there are some exceptions, Rufus Wainwright's cover of Lennon's Across The Universe is decent, to say the least.

Sonata Artica has some good covers. But yeah, most covers suck :bleh:

Gahh, I hate it when the mainstream artists try to funk up the older songs. Gwen Stefani, for example.
