CAIRO – 24 August 2017: Someone has probably made a cover for one of your favorite songs whatever it is, unless you are a fan of some really obscure type of music, but some covers are really innovative and deserve to be given as much a chance as the original song, so here are five covers that sounded very unique in their own way.

1- ‘Creep’ by Radiohead and its Postmodern Jukebox cover

Radiohead are most known for their hit ‘Creep’ which made them famous when it came out in 1993. The song is famous for its calm rhythm which is interrupted by an anxious guitar melody to embody the agony of a depressed lover, but imagine a version of ‘Creep’ made in the 50s…



2- ‘Losing My Religion’ by R.E.M. and its Lacuna Coil cover

This song and its clip are just amazing, dreamy and philosophical in ways, but what about a hardcore rock version of it?



3- ‘Hurt’ by Nine Inch Nails and its cover by Johnny Cash

Yes. This song is not a Johnny Cash original, it was released by Nine Inch Nails around two years before Johnny Cash covered it; According to the NIN Hotline website, the band released ‘Hurt’ in 1995 and was nominated for a Grammy as Best Rock Song, while Johnny Cash’s version was released by the year 2002 and became very famous recently after being used in the 2017 movie Logan. Anyway, here are the two songs, pick your favorite and enjoy.

4- ‘Rolling in the Deep’ by Adele and its Linkin Park cover



Adele is simply breathtaking in her musical creations but so is Linkin Park who in their iTunes Festival in 2011 covered Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ leaving their unique signature on it.



5- ‘Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel and its Disturbed cover
They literally sound like two completely different songs
