Pretty much any cover of a tears for fears song. For some reason I don't vibe with their sound, but their song writing is really good. Their songs get covered a lot and I like almost all of the covers way better than the original. Hell, even if they themselves play an acoustic version of their songs, I really enjoy it!

Postmodern Jukebox’s version of We Can’t Stop.

Their version of Take Me to Church is pretty good, too. Not the the original was bad, but Morgan James just takes it to another level. If you find a live version where it’s just her and a pianist, it’s pretty impressive. Got to see it live awhile back and had chills.

Most covers of Beatles songs. I couldn't get into the hype for the boy band but I like when other people try to spruce up their music a bit. Crucify me.

Pet Shop Boys cover of “Where the Streets Have No Name (Can't Take My Eyes Off You)” - it’s a two-fer; both songs are pretty insipid on their own but their cover / mash-up is fantastic.

The original is bland eighties pop. The cover is deeply unsettling in all the ways Placebo are so fucking good at.

You can apply a lot of adjectives to Kate Bush, but I've never heard her described as bland before. That's quite a take.

I'm learning Running Up That Hill right now to perform, and "bland" has to be as close to "objectively" incorrect as anything musical can be. The sound is so novel and unique.

The amount of time and effort and research and diving into deep synth menus to recreate that sound is kinda insane.

Start with a cello sample. Set the pitch envelope to start with a lower pitch, then quickly slide up to the actual note. Cut off the amp envelope fairly quickly. Make both of those happen slower when lower keys are played. Then delay in some super specific way I still don't quite understand, and reverb too.

Not to mention the structure of the song is difficult as hell (for me at least) to memorize, it's not quite typical verse chorus back and forth

I can understand not liking it, but calling it bland is pretty wild to me
