Covers!
Truth be told I like any type of music so long as it has a soul behind it, even if it belongs to the Devil. So this excludes Miley Cyrus and the like. But one thing I really enjoy is cover songs that cross genres. Really good examples are A Day To Remember's versions of "Since U Been Gone" and "Over My Head(Cable Car)." Both are on the "Attack of The Killer B-Sides" 7". These are great especially since Jeremy McKinnon can really sing the songs well and they still come through as hardcore. Another really good one is Rise Against's awesome version of "Anyway You Want It" on their "Revolutions Per Minute" Album. The great thing about these covers is that as changed as they are they still come through feeling as originally intended. Although not cross genre, one cover I love to listen to is The Killer's cover/excerpt of "I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", which they play live as an intro to "Shadowplay", another cover! I have it on their "Live At Glastonbury Festival 2007" recording. If there's any covers you like, leave a comment and let me know, also i'll be posting some covers of my own on my youtube channel in addition to some original songs so check it out.
