Problems With Covers

Okay, so this is a problem I've had for basically my whole life! I absolutely HATE when people cover classic rock songs and even new pop songs (this is why I despise Glee). 

My first problem is when people cover classic rock songs, like the Beatles. The song will always be worse because I must admit, I do not like pop songs at all, and most covers now ARE pop. And it seems to me that the integrity of the song is always down-graded. Like, alot! And I see that a ton of pop singers are very very good singers, but it just doesn't cut it. Where are the guitar solos and the drums? All there is in the song is a creepy and annoying beat... that's it.

Now, here's another problem I have. A lot of people who are obviously not raised knowing older songs don't know WHEN A SONG IS BEING COVERED. I find with almost all my friends I listen to their favourite radio station, and I say:

"Oh, I recognize this song... Yeah, I like the original one a hell of a lot better"

But, then they say:

"Wait, I love this song! It's a cover?"

I just, I find it incredibly stupid of them, I'm sorry... But yeah, that's it.

And the last thing that I find more weird than anything else is when a song that isn't even 5 years old is covered! Wait a bit, or it'll just sound like the exact same song. Like in Glee, half the songs they cover sound the exact same, just cheesy and high-pitched and annoying. And I just think why bother covering the song if it is the SAME SONG?

So yeah, this is just a rant I have and needed to get out in the open and needed to get my message across, and there WILL be a video coming up about this.
