What is your general opinion on cover songs ?

i am a big fan if an artist adds to an already good song, it often is even better then. it sucks if its just a copy and sounds exactly the same... it must be drastically different.

like this Patti Smith cover of the infamous Nirvana song Smells Like Teen Spirit

I think some of them are amazing, and I've also heard some pretty weird/terrible covers. 🤔

@thepreposterouspanda i kinda like weird

@CynicGirl Me too! It definitely depends on the mood and execution though. 🤔

I was reminded of Clown Core the other day, speaking of weird. Not sure if you've ever heard them, but it's an experience. 😂

@thepreposterouspanda i am in love with a swing version of Chops Suey by System of a Down (which is already one of the greatest songs ever)
