Was in CVS tonight and this came on. Reminded me...
Have you heard this cover of the pretender? It’s literally one of my favorite things ever: youtu.be/8zH2JP4…
It’s a good cover, especially in that it keeps the spirit of the original while jumping off to a different genre (which is what really makes a good cover, imo). I think I still prefer the original, if only because it’s one of those songs that kind of defines the genre, you know? Not in influence, but, like... if an alien asked me what a modern rock song sounded like, I’d choose The Pretender.
ETA: Well, I /might/ choose The Pretender. (Immediately after typing this, Seven Nation Army came on and, well... that’s a great example, too)
