Cover

In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition (performance or recording) of a previously recorded song. In its current use, it can sometimes have a pejorative meaning — implying that the original recording should be regarded as the definitive version, usually in the sense of an “authentic” rendition, and all others are merely lesser competitors, alternatives or tributes (no matter how popular).

    Richard Cheese is the king of this "genre".

    Good covers: "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley and "Hurt" by Johnny Cash. Bad covers: "Hallelujah" by Alexandra Burke and "Hurt" by Leona Lewis. Do I detect a pattern here?

    Metallica and Rage Against The Machine are probably the only two bands to actually pull off a cover album

    Why isn't Richard Cheese at the top here? His career is one big cover.
