Eric Clapton — I Shot the Sheriff (original by Bob Marley)
Disturbed — Sound of Silence (original by Simon & Garfunkel)
Manfred Mann — Blinded By the Light (original by Bruce Springsteen)
I love all of the original artists, but someone else did the definitive version of all of these. Disturbed is probably debatable, but I do think it’s better.
I enjoy the rock-opera quality. The way it goes from soft and gentle to powerful and intense. It reminds me of Phantom of the Opera, which I quite enjoy. Now, Meatloaf probably would’ve done it much better, but to my knowledge he never did.

I’m baffled by how much people like the Disturbed version. I find it to be considerably worse than the original.

The Disturbed COVID video makes me cry every time.
I gave up on the Disturbed version before any politics came into it. Just kinda overproduced.
