@Public_N_M_E were you aware of this?
I was not but this is absolutely 🔥🔥
I saw this post earlier today and I hadn’t heard of the cover Ucantdothat posted so I searched for boys of summer on Spotify looking for it and this first aid kit version popped up. I still prefer the Ataris but this is excellent.
Mike Masse's covers are all excellent. He's got albums and albums of them. A bunch of his covers make me like the song again kind of covers. Great artist.
You're just gonna have to keep posting him weekly!
Personally not my cup of tea but I respect what they did there
Yeah, I'll always enjoy the ataris version of it but this version is really really cool.
I'll just leave this here 😉
Original but I do lile that cover
Who did it better?
Bob Seger (original)

Metallica (cover)

I have to go with Metallica here but only because for many years I didn't know that wasn't their song
Can’t go wrong either way.
Do songs exist that are so good anybody can cover them?
No I think every song can be botched by someone.
Metallica for me, absolutely smashes it. Something about hetfields vocals that just add something to the track.

Ooo a very different take on Self Esteem, interesting
Yeah, I always like covers that mix it up. She normally doesn't do acoustic stuff like this either.
I think I recognize the name from a Mike Shinoda track?
Wow! That was an awesome cover. Totally different take. That's fantastic!

I really love Shaun's vocals, this is a tough matchup between the two of them. I don't think I can call this one. It's too tight. Both are fantastic versions.
I agree, this is tough for me too
Sorry I'm late to the party everyone!

Vs
FFDP
view on youtu.beI vote Offspring but I REALLY like what FFDP did with it and I've never been their biggest fan
view on youtu.beYeah they really changed the dynamic of the song.
