Cover Bands :: essays research papers
Is the cover a good thing or a bad thing? Are there any cover songs that you have heard and have grown to like more than the original? Perhaps there are songs that you have heard and have later come to the realization that it is indeed a cover song. This is the case for me. However, my feelings on cover songs vary depending on the particular instance. I think the cover is a good thing now days. There are many new songs that I have heard and have later realized that it is a cover song. I probably would have never heard the original song if it wasnââ¬â¢t covered. On the other hand, in the 50s when rock and roll was building a foundation for itself, I believe that cover songs were a bad thing. à à à à à First, I would like to explain why I believe that cover songs are now a good thing. ââ¬Å"Behind Blue Eyesâ⬠covered by Limp Bizkit is a song that I would have never heard had it not been covered. The Who originally recorded this song in 1971. Limp Bizkit is an alternative band that many younger people have great interest in. Many people my age are not as interested in what is now called ââ¬Å"Classic Rockâ⬠as they are in alternative music. Therefore, this song would have never been heard if it wasnââ¬â¢t for Limp Bizkit. Another good example of a song that has been covered is ââ¬Å"Simple Manâ⬠by Shinedown. This song was originally recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1973. This is another example of a song that younger generations would not have heard if it wasnââ¬â¢t covered by Shinedown. However, a person may ask ââ¬Å"Is it fair for the original artist if one of their songs is covered?â⬠I believe the answer to this question is yes. M any artists that have covered songs have also had their songs covered. This causes a never-ending loop of music that seeks different genres of music and also people of different ages. à à à à à On the other hand, I believe that cover songs in the 50s were a bad thing. These songs were covered for different purposes than they are today. Race was the primary issue as to why many songs were covered. Perhaps the key song for rock and roll that has been covered is ââ¬Å"Rock Around the Clockâ⬠originally recorded by Sonny Dae and His Knights in 1954.
