5 So Many Times Covered Oldschool Songs

Have you ever heard or Shazamed a song that is performed by a relatively new music band and than discovered that it actually has a much older original version? Or maybe you hear a song on the radio that sounds kind of familiar to you and then you realize that some time ago it was a killing hit? 

This has happened to me so often that for a while I've been thinking that I should write about it on this blog. This week is the week to do this as I just shazamed a song I simply can't stop listening to and it dates back to the 90s.

Although I love discovering new music masterpieces, I still think that oldschool music is the best. It has got some soul in it, when people actually listened to the songs that are not catchy or just sound nice, but their lyrics is meaningful and it can exist separately from the melody. 

Think of Sting, Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phil Collins, The Beatles, The Who and many more of those good old days. Their music is the pure definition of art. 


Today many modern music bands make numerous covers on the songs of the great of the 20th century. This playlist includes the songs that have been covered (by the way, some of those covers are pretty amazing), but the original versions of which date back to the 20th century.     

Artists featured in this playlist: Gnarls Barkley, Kate Bush, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, The Cure.

Enjoy :)
