Covers

Like I posted a long2x time ago, I’ll be sharing some mp3s of music that I love. But laziness got the better of me thus I was not able to do it. Anyways, I stumbled upon this version of Rihanna’s ella…ella by Scott Simon (the music you’re hearing right now from my blog) and thought of sharing some music covers. Lately I’m into music covers. Don’t get me wrong I love original music but good covers give an old song or even a new song a different twist. Covers offer us listeners a new sound to familiar songs. It allows music artists to give their own rendition of previously recorded song. Mostly songs by artist they look up to. Some popular bands also do covers of lesser known bands to help them out or pay them recognition. There are albums by different bands covering up music from legends such as tributes to Depeche Mode, Beatles and Carpenters to name a few. However most covers aren’t included in the artist albums and only performed in concerts or shows so they’re quite hard to find but I found some ;) Here are some of my favorite cover songs that you can download here: To Love Somebody(Bee Gees)-Billy Corgan Can’t get you out of my head(Kylie Minogue)-Coldplay Heart Shaped Box(Nirvana)-Evanescence So Sick(Ne-yo)-Fall Out Boy Numb(Linkin Park)-Jamelia Turning Japanese(The Vapors)-Incubus Maneater(Hall and Oates)-PATD Sunday Bloody Sunday(U2)-Pearl Jam Pieces of me(Ashlee Simpson)- Dunno who covered it but it’s good…way better than Ashlee Pure Imagination(Gene Wilder)-Maroon 5 Bittersweet Symphony(The Verve)- Richard Ashcroft & Coldplay Snow Patrol(Beyonce)-Snow Patrol Since You’ve Been gone(Kelly Clarkson)-Ted Leo The Scientist(Coldplay)-Natasha Bedingfield Sometimes I like the cover versib more than the original just like the Umbrella song and also Bowling for Soup cover of Fergie’s London Bridge (I’ve only seen the vid…anyone who has an mp3 of it?)…the original versions are too upbeat. I’m actually not sure if I love the covers because they make some sort of mockery to the original version. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me J but if you listen to some punk bands cover then you’ll know what I mean. I’ll share some songs from the Punk goes Pop album, which covers songs from boy bands like N’Sync and Backstreet boys and girl groups. The versions are cool and guaranteed to make you smile…trust me. You can download it here. Various Punk bands actually have other albums such as Punk Goes 90’s, 80’s, acoustic..i’ll share them next time.
