I'm not a huge fan, but I gotta give it up for Disturbed's cover of Shout. It's a really dark song, Disturbed really made it their own. I don't like covers that are just straight copies ala Quiet Riot's version of "We're not gonna take it."

 

[Edwcdc]

The Lemonheads- Mrs. Robinson

Quiet Riot covered a Twisted Sister song?

Or do you me their covers of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now"?
