I know some of you here are big fans of metal covers of pop tunes. Seems like they've all been covered. If you could request a song be done that hasn't been, or hasn't been done WELL, what would it be?
For me, it was Holding Out for a Hero, which has been tried a few times, but it's always sucked, IMO. Given the fast pace and er, heroic lyrics, you'd think a power metal band would have grabbed that one by the throat, but until a few weeks ago, when Reinxeed put it on Youtube, a good version had yet to be done.
At this point, the #1 song on my list due for a cover would be The Touch, by Stan Bush. I don't think anyone's even tried that.
