Artists That Should Never Ever Be Covered. Ever.

I counter with the best cover of it ever: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=DEB1B0035182C6F0

Because of Cradle of Filth covering No Time to Cry I went out and found as much Sisters of Mercy as possible, which in turn led me on an amazing chase for anything gothic rock or darkwave, and from there got into dark metal, and quite probably, if it weren't for Cradle of Filth covering No Time to Cry, it's entirely possible I would have never begun listening to Agalloch, and that would have been a great tragedy.
On the flipside, because Cradle of Filth covered Black Metal, I was in turn pointed in the direction of Venom and Bathory, and from there more black metal.
I don't listen to CoF all that much anymore, but because of their covers, I now listen to some amazing things.

You made me remember that an AFI cover of The Misfits what got me into them (Misfits).
So yeah, covers can be quite a useful tool in your musical education.

Pretty much what I did. Their cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name turned me on to Maiden as well. Similiarly, Dimmu Borgirs odd penchant for covering 80's metal got me in to Twisted Sister and Accept. The other main way I discovered new music back at the start of the whole business was random keyword searches on Kazaa. A vague query as to whether anyone had ever written a song about Countess Bathory led me to Venom, Bathory, Candlemass and Tormentor, all in one go.
Pukka, that was.

Interestingly it was the other way around for me. I heard a couple of Misfits tracks and then heard AFI were similar so I downloaded some. w00t. So I ended up buying every AFI album over a few years and only just brought a Misfits disc :D
