...
I decided to cut myself off because that list was getting ridiculously long as it is. I have a huge appreciation for all of these songs for various reasons; some feature infectious vocal melodies (my favourite part of music), incredible lyrics, agonizingly good beats, impeccable musicianship and so forth. After I post this, of course six hundred more are going to pop into my head, but this is what I can think of from the top of my head. Thankfully, due to a fair bit of vocal training I've been receiving from a friend of mine, my voice has become rather versatile and much stronger. Which is very much a positive given some of those choices (anyone who has the gusto to attempt to cover "The House That Pain Built" and do it proper justice better be ready to break a sweat and rage...a lot). For the record, I can often be heard doing full Depeche Mode tribute shows in the shower. Should the opportunity arise, I advise that you put a cup and ear to the door and a lighter in the air. It's magic. I do like seven encores.
Later on today I'll likely list a few of my favourite covers of all-time. It only seems natural after this post.
