Artists That Should Never Ever Be Covered. Ever.
Merkava:
I think it would be hilarious if someone tried to cover anything done by Microphones.
Jackie Blue:
Thursday also ripped off A Silver Mt. Zion. ASMZ have a song that repeats the line "take these hands and throw them in the river" and a couple years later, Thursday did a song with the exact same line. At first I assumed it must be from a Bible verse or something, because the sheer weirdness of a band as bad as Thursday both liking ASMZ and ripping them off was too much for me to parse. Unfortunately I've never been able to find that line used in anything but both songs, so I have to conclude that really is what happened.
Last night one of my bandmates and I were discussing this and I said that no one should ever cover Mogwai, because if you're competent enough to cover a Mogwai song, you might as well just write a Mogwai rip-off of your own instead of covering them.

Alternatively it's a coincidence.
TheFuriousWombat:
yeh, i don't consider simply using the same line as another song to be the same as covering that song. if i did than many songs would be covers i think. were the two songs similar musically or was this the only similarity?
