cover songs

Would you rather hear a block of cover songs of the original songs that they came from? That's the Chuck's Fight Club for this week's Loudwire Nights radio show.

My Chemical Romance, the Used, American Football and more have breathed new life into these classic songs.

There's some controversial picks here.

Some people love cover songs, some don't. I happen to be one of those that appreciates a well-done cover. So, I decided to compile a list of some of my favorite rock cover songs.

"Corporal, I order you to perform 'Skyfall' by Adele," is how we hope this awesome cover by a choir in the Russian army came to be.
