& Pop always sells.. People hear Leona Lewis' Run & think it's cool.. But very few know it's by Snow Patrol originally..
Half, the people I know think that The Man Who Sold The World is by Cobain... & many prefer Cobain's version over the original.
To each his own..
There is this band called Baseballs which remade Rihanna's Umbrella.. I love the Baseballs version a lot more.
here's a link:
YouTube - The Baseballs - Umbrella
Baseballs do amazing covers of popular hits.
Just had a listen . Not to my taste I am sorry to say , but then to be fair , I can see it being a particularly popular song , particularly in the USA . Are they a USA Band ?
