Cover Songs: The 80's

I am a child of the 1980's. It's true. Growing up, MTV was enormously popular and everyone wore really stupid fashions. I remember the music very well. It was all terrible. No, that's not true. It always intrigues me when a band decides against all reasonable judgment to cover a song from the 1980's. Let's look at a few such tracks.

DELIGHT-"CARELESS WHISPER" (GEORGE MICHAEL)


TWILIGHT GUARDIANS-"LA ISLA BONITA" (MADONNA)


TEN MASKED MEN-"BEAT IT" (MICHAEL JACKSON)


GRAVEWORM-"IT'S A SIN" (PET SHOP BOYS)


TO/DIE/FOR-"(I JUST) DIED IN YOUR ARMS" (CUTTING CREW)


BLUDGEOND-"MAD WORLD" (GARY JULES)


IN FLAMES-"LAND OF CONFUSION" (GENESIS)


ATROCITY-"HERE COMES THE RAIN AGAIN" (EURYTHMICS)


STEEL PROPHET-"(DON'T YOU) FORGET ABOUT ME" (SIMPLE MINDS)


SENTENCED-"WHITE WEDDING" (BILLY IDOL)


VISION DIVINE-"TAKE ON ME" (A-HA)


WARMEN-"SEPARATE WAYS" (JOURNEY)
