Just sitting here watching Disturbeds DVD and currently listening to their cover of Shout. I have begun to wonder what over 80's "classics" (and I use that term loosely) have been covered by hard rock or metal groups etc.
so far all I have is:
Marylin Manson - Soft Cells "tainted Love"
Disturbed - Tears For Fears "Shout"
Limp Bizkit - George Michaels "Faith"
Orgy - New Order "Blue Monday"
any others?

They do punk covers. One of their albums has Neil Simon, Kenny Loggins, John Denver, Neil Diamond and Elton John, another has Cat Stevens and Beach Boys and the third has Muppets, Evita, Phantom and Cabaret Stage Show Covers.
Not quite 80s but very close...

Then Reel Big Fish(I know not metal) did covers of "Hungry like the Wolf" and "Take on Me", they were pretty cool.

Fear Factory covered Gary Numan's Cars (http://launch.yahoo.com/song/default.asp?songID=1389457)... a cool tune, Gary Numan even did guest vocals in it. (click on the link to check out the video at launch.com)
even tho Cars isnt exactly an 80s tune.. 1979 is close enough tho :D

Manson also did the Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams", I'm sure you knew that, but you didn't have it written there, so I thought I'd mention it

And the irony is the orginal if far spookier and creapier than mr Mansons crappy cover.

I love disturbed's cover of "Shout"!!! Have you heard their new album yet? It's pretty good... different than "the Sickness", but it's good!
Powerman 5000 also did a cover of "Let the Good Times Roll" by the Cars.
David Bowie did a cover of Simple Minds "Don't you (forget about me)"
Save Ferris did a cover of a Dexies Midnight Runners song called "Come on Eileen"
Incubus did a cover of "No Scrubs", I think was originally done by Destiny's Child, but that's not 80's...
Biz Markee did a cover of "Benny & the Jets" by Elton John.
Shoot... If I was at home with my CD's (600+ of them), I could think of ALOT more...

I've been meaning to write one up for some time, I just need to find a few hours of free-time to go through them all. Between me and my girlfriend, I think we've got over 700 CD's.
Once I do though, I'll post it here in OT. :sun:
You can see a large portion of them in this pic:

sounds like anna & myself, only we dont quite have that many
we have about 470 between us... about 270-280 of them mine (lost count now)
i havent been buying cds much lately tho :( (and yes, i prefer to buy them.. i actually read the liner notes, and a pressed cd has a longer shelf-life than a burned one... nevermind the fact that mp3s sound like s$$t). i guess i have not been buying them much b/c i moved and i dunno of any good stores around here for used cds.

Just like me. I love to have the actual CD, I just hate buying new, they're so overpriced. There's not many good places to get used CD's here, but there's a place back home that I always go that has one of the best selections I've ever seen, and CD's are all like $2 Canadian....
I've got about 140, most of them from there.

Same with me. I think a large part of an album is the cover art (and internal art) and lyrics and all that... Plus, burned CD's get all messed up rather quickly...
