Q: Pet Peeve of the Day?

A: Cover songs of true classics. Some stuff should not be covered, especially if you aren't that good at it.

I just saw a cover video of 'In the Air Tonight' by Phil Collins. Sacrilegious.

Lets add to the list of stuff that shouldn't be redone:

1. Almost anything off Van Halen's '1984' album. (Yeah, VH did covers of other stuff. But they did it well.)
2. Anything from The Police's "Singles" album.
3. Good Jimmy Buffett songs. Cover the crappy ones.

Well, we all know there's big long list so we'll leave it at that.

Discuss.
