THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE LIST

oddly enough, i'm actually not a fan of cover songs. the bad tend to greatly outweigh the good. besides, i'd rather venture into uncharted waters with a unique artist rather than constantly look for that anchor; that point of reference buried in an otherwise brilliant stand-alone song. why not just write a new song in the first place? same thing with movie remakes, btw. did we really need another rollerball? really?? was the original even all that good? whatever.

and the other caveat, what anyone accidentally stumbling onto this blog, ready to shoot down all my musical tastes is about to see is definitely NOT a comprehensive list - it's just a compilation of things (post-90s) that reside on youtube. there's a killer version of pink floyd's goodbye cruel world by anathema. nowhere online. smashing pumpkins covered joy division's isolation. nope, not online either.

oh, and one final disclaimer, my only intention is to appeal to a wide range of musical tastes. i like to think that i'm somewhat diverse, but i have my creature comforts. i could do a 'best of dimmu borgir cover project' if you want, but the only person that would care is this guy.

don't be that guy.

because the Shuuv is saving that for #1. I think it's reserved for her beat up and broke cover version of Angel from Robbie Williams.
