Does any one here like Elvis?
Every song he performed was a cover, or was written for him.
Some of the artists felt they would make more money in royalties that way, and the passage of time has proven them right.
There's certainly some bad covers though.
Ive never heard a Led Zeppelin cover song I liked. There are some bands that are more like "mimic" bands, meaning you can hear they are just trying to duplicate exactly the original song, which I never understood the point.
It's like an Elvis impersonator...
The closer they get, the creepier it seems lol.
