Cover

In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition (performance or recording) of a previously recorded song.

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.
