A hundred rock and metal covers of songs you'd never expect, from "Hotel California" to "Blinding Lights." Guess the original before the chorus hits.
R0CK-kovers is a 100-song collection of covers where rock and metal bands take on songs you’d never expect. It opens with Shihad’s version of “I Got You,” then gets better and stranger: Dead Sara’s “Heart-Shaped Box,” The Polyphonic Spree’s “Lithium,” Otherwise’s “Rebel Yell,” MEYTAL’s metal “Hotel California” and Small Town Titans’ “Folsom Prison Blues.”
Puddle Of Mudd and Small Town Titans each appear three times, with Disturbed, Chris Cornell, Lacuna Coil and Black Stone Cherry close behind. Red’s “Ordinary World” and Saint Asonia’s heavy take on The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” show how wide it ranges, from 80s pop to country to grunge, all run through amplifiers. It’s a fun game to play on shuffle: guess the original before the chorus hits. Perfect for a road trip, a party with music fans or anybody who loves hearing a familiar song turned inside out. Some of these covers might even end up replacing the originals in your head.
