Which song covers do you prefer over the original?
For me:
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams Are Made of These
Siousxie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence
Madonna - Fever
Elvira - Burning Up
Madonna - American Pie (I'm probably gonna get castrated for this one)
R. Kelly - National Anthem (guilty pleasure)
Discuss...
Any cover that Michael Jackson ever did.
shareAny cover of any Bob Dylan song.
Every cover done by Peter Paul and Mary, and by Annie Lennox.
Madonna though? Really?! She should’ve been banished for covering those songs.
shareI never got the hate for Madge. Okay, she's pretty awful now, but most of her work from the 80's and 90's I thought was good.
shareI was never a fan of hers but I respect her as an 80s icon. She was definitely a big part of why the 80s was what it was. I just wish she would’ve stayed in her lane. Madonna covering American Pie is as blasphemous as Hilary Duff covering My Generation.
shareI love Madonna's versions of American Pie and Fever very much too. Her American Pie wouldn't be a huge worldwide superhit for nothing
