If you got 28 minutes to spare: Top 80 Songs You Didn't Know Were Covers and Their Originals
Don`t know where the "top 80 title" comes from, they are in no particular order.
Notes:
Some are obvious
Sometimes I didn`t know the original
Worse is if I didn`t know the cover, making the thread title obsolete
It gets pretty ugly when I don`t know either, did I miss something then?

Also of note:
To my estimation 50% of covers are from afro-american artists from the 50s, 60s and early 70s
You rarely see a black on white cri- ... cover. And even more rare is black on black.

Phil Collins isn`t good at anything. Same goes for Rod Stewart

Gun's n' Roses "Sweet Child o Mine" by any female cover is just horrendous. If you Google any cover of that song it's always a woman that thinks she has god's gift of voice in all of the universe and so full of themselves. Well, except for the German Heimatdamisch that is. It's still horrible though.

Try to listen to one, ANY one. If you find one that's decent, by all means, share it with us drunks and prove me wrong. I don't care if you're Fergie, it still suuuuuucks.

Every Gn'R fan knows that song sucks anyway, but then throw some whiny, exaggerated, chick voice in the mix and it's beyond cringe-worthy.

This made me laugh. It's so true.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

Metallica covering other bands. Especially that double CD of covers they put out many years ago. It's usually pretty bad. Of course Metallica hasn't been good for like 30+ years.

Yeah when the "new" Black album came out. That will always be "new" Metallica to me.

The one for 120 bucks or the one limited to only 5000 units for 220 apiece that came with a rotten easter egg spit on by each band member?
