Well, to be fair, most of these covers are done by my favorite artists and in my current music collection. In fact, Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, Marilyn Manson, Pennywise, Dope, Primus, Placebo, Genitorturers and the Dead Kennedys are all in my cd case in my car at this very moment.
I did have to Google the original artist for "I fought the Law" because it's been done so many times.
Do you like the Alien Ant Farm version of Smooth Criminal?
Yea, I wondered if they did that because they appreciate MJ, or because they don't. I forgot what song it was, but some rock band redid a Phil Collins song a few years ago and in an interview the lead singer said he doesn't even like Phil Collins' music. Um... awkward!
OOOH! I found this online: "In 2001, their cover of the Michael Jackson song, "Smooth Criminal", was a #1 single in Australia and New Zealand, a #3 single in the UK, and #1 on the US Modern Rock charts. The music video features numerous tributing homages to Michael Jackson and his videos.
They had also performed Smooth Criminal at the 2009 Vans' Warped Tour in memory of the now late Michael Jackson, in which Alien Ant Farm had also posted several entries on their site concerning his death."
