Two good examples of "why are you trying to cover this song?" and a lot of songs that aren't really my style. I dug the top 5 songs well enough.



1. Beethoven - Choral Symphony, End of Mvt. 4
2. Johnny Mathis - 99 Miles From LA
3. Martin Delray & Johnny Cash - Get Rhythm
4. The James Gang - Walk Away
5. Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche
6. Wolf Alice - Blush
7. ELECTRIC YOUTH - Tomorrow
8. Joshua Ray Walker - Lot Lizard
9. Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver
10. Slipknot - Unsainted



1. Joshua Ray Walker - Lot Lizard
(I think JJ either nominated or messaged me a song from this dude before, but if so the song didn't really make much of an impression on me. Well, this one certainly did. Dude has the range of a hound dog. That may not sound like a compliment, but I mean it as one. Good lyrics as well. The genuine article.)

2. Slipknot - Unsainted
(I've never really given Slipknot their due, probably because of dumb high school associations (the kids who were obsessed with them were the same ones rocking KoRn t-shirts just a couple years earlier, and the mask thing also seemed like a stupid gimmick), but I haven't been able to get enough of this song since first hearing it. I think it's time I put aside biases and dive into their back catalogue.)

3. Wolf Alice - Blush
(Vulnerable and pretty. I can see myself listening to this again. Thank God someone in the comments clarified that the person in the video isn't the actual singer, because I was very confused at first.)

4. Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver
(As a big fan of Dio's version, I was ready to write this cover off, but they did just enough to make it their own while still saying true to the original. Also I'm just in a metal mood at the moment. The video was also very entertaining, parodying all those nerdy, cheesy 80's metal music videos.)

5. Electric Youth - Tomorrow
(I always enjoy this nostalgic, 80's-inspired synth sound.)

6. The James Gang - Walk Away
(I've heard this song many times on the radio, but never knew who it was by.)

7. Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche
(Makes me want to take piano lessons.)

8. Martin Delray ft. Johnny Cash - Get Rhythm
(Much prefer Cash's original over this hillbilly stomp cover, but Cash's involvement at least keeps it close enough to the real thing.)

9. Johnny Mathis - 99 Miles From L.A.
(A driving song that threatens to put people asleep behind the wheel. Despite being a bit sleepy for my tastes, it's still a pleasant/chill listen.)

10. Beethoven - Choral Symphony, End of Mvt. 4
(I recognize the liveliest part, around the 3-minute mark, from many shows/movies, usually as the backdrop for something comedic like a slow-motion food fight.)


Liked every song to some degree.
