After waking up I instantly opened my computer and got on youtube.com. Started my musical journey at Björn Afzelius: Så vill jag bli , jumped over to Winnerbäck covering Wiehe Kom hem till mig. Got to thinking 'bout karaoke and listened to King Harvest; Dancin' in the moonlight. From there I made a donkeybridge over to Toploader; Youtube mix and started thinking 'bout covers. Who's got the right to do them? Is it ok to cover a song if it turns out much worse than the original? Can music be measured?
Earlier on I thought that I was a better person if I liked the original better than the cover..but as music, I don't think human interests can be measured.
Just some examples of songs that are better covered than original:
Leonard Cohen vs. Jeff Buckley
Lady Gagai vs. Greyson Chance
Sade vs. Beachwood SparksBob Dylan vs. Jimi Hendrix
Dusty Springfield vs. The White Stripes
and the list goes on.....
