Original v. Cover: Shout

[NSL]

Whether you admit it or not, you've heard the original a million times, and sang along for probably half of that. It's a classic 80s song, and made the band as famous as they are. On Disturbed's debut album, they covered the song, calling it Shout 2000, and giving it a much heavier sound.

I'm going to go with the cover. I like the original, and it's good, but the new one appeals more to my tastes, and I feel less awkward blasting it in a car full of friends.

I'm really not a fan of Disturbed, or their cover here. They try to kind of "metal" it up, and it just doesn't really work.

The original is a classic, from one of the best groups of the 80s, Tears for Fears. I'm a big fan of them, so without a doubt I'd say the original is better. It's much more harrowing and emotionally involving then the mediocre cover version.
