songs that should not be covered...
top 5

for me it goes
Bad ...U2

Stand By Me ...Ben E King

Brave ...Sarah Barrelies

Enter Sandman.. Metallica

Candle in the Wind..Sir Elton John

as an extra I would add I can Dream About you by Dan Hartman. It is the second most perfect song behind Heroes by Bowie.

Meh that to me is the worst Rush song that was a hit. If I picked a Rush song not to remake it would be Fly By Night becaue Niel wrote it as he was leaving on his first trip away from home.

I don’t get this mindset. I’m open to any song I love being covered. If it’s done well I’m going to enjoy it and if it sucks im not gonna listen to it again.

Imo movies are different. If they remade Shawshank Redemption everyone involved should be killed.

Well, I think there are songs that are/seem so personal that they really shouldn't be covered. I haven't seen anything like that mentioned in this thread yet though. The closest thing is "Heroes" that has been covered multiple times and never well. The Motorhead version is an atrocity. And I love Motorhead.

That song "Heros" is simply amazing production, co-written and produced by Brian Eno with Robert Fripp on guitars...song starts in one place and ends up on a completely different level

There's a show on the U2 Sirius channel called "Close to The Edge" where The Edge interviews other musicians. I've only heard it one time, but the one I heard was with Carlos Alomar. Super interesting. I always thought it was cool that Bowie and Eno had Alomar and Dennis Davis switch instruments on "Boys Keep Swinging".

And speaking of covers, here's "Boys Keep Swinging" done Memphis style:
