As we explored in my last post, covering a classic song is a difficult venture. "You're So Vain" was probably the most popular song Carly Simon has performed, so the Faster Pussycat remake was bold and daring. "Any Way You Want...

I figured I would start my list of excellent cover songs with this track. This song was originally written and performed by Carly Simon in 1972 and is a timeless classic song. Faster Pussycat, a glam metal band that became famous...

Dante Beck I checked it out and while I appreciate Marilyn Manson generally and his ability to produce wonderful covers of songs, I didn't particularly like this cover. His covers of "Sweet Dreams" and "Tainted Love" are great though.

Dante Beck I am a cover song junkie! There are some covers that are so bad, I actually enjoy them. There are even a few that I feel are head and shoulders above the original song. The Faster Pussycat version is light and fun, with a little bit of the glam attitude. I...

Dante Beck @teamfreak16 Wow! I love the modernization. I am not a big fan of u2, but this cover is good. Tiffany singing this kind of sounds like Madonna.

Dante Beck Sounds fun and I love the attitude behind it! There are a few cover songs I like better than the originals (major sin in some peoples' eyes). This is not one of them, but I still enjoy it.

Dante Beck @amadeo Honestly, with cover versions of songs, the idea is not to replace the original. Most bands perform cover songs to pay tribute to their influences.

Dante Beck Understandable and I appreciate your opinion on this. I knew when posting this discussion, a lot of differing opinions would emerge. I still enjoy the Carly Simon version of this song; however, I also like the different tone of the cover by Faster...

Dante Beck @teamfreak16 I figured as much, but I will be checking out the Isley Brothers version as well. Music is one of my favorite subjects and I have a soft spot for cover tunes, whether they are really good or really dreadful. As a brand new user on here, maybe I...

Dante Beck @teamfreak16 Was the original by the Isely Brothers or was it by Seals and Croft?
