The remarkable 80's Cover songs

Who never had a favorite song on a CD? For me, many of them were covers, which were sometimes songs of the 80s and 70s, which for some reason, was in our ears, because to hear on any radio station, or a tape of our parents or older friends. Hope you have felt the same as me, and tell us your favorite cover. I hope you enjoy my selection, among many others, here's some remarkable Cover songs of the 80´s:

And I think the Cause of Death-Obituary, is genius masterpiece. The sound, the great drawing of the album, the voice and the battery of the Tardy brothers its awesome. One of the best death metal albums ever.

Yeah, I love all the Sodom albums, Persecution Mania is most likely my most played. But Agent Orange is awesome also.
First three Obituary albums are all masterpieces - they were so killer at the time. Can't help but smile every time I hear them.

More covers....

No doubt, Obituary first 3 albums, remain timeless ... I think in 2011, I saw a Badass concert in Portugal and I recorded it, I put some musics of the gig on my page at http://www. youtube.com/channel/UCdskO8IfjaBy4NAmg8GRhIA. Opeth its a band with a very special place in my heart, I have the complete discography,i only do not have the "Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall", and im also a big fan of Bloodbath(The death metal project,paralel to Opeth). Entombed,its the time of Earache and Faith no More in my younger days I was a fanatic...
I hope you enjoy;

Is not Heavy Metal,but it is well played with the sound extremely well done

Rottingface Dec 28, 2013 @ 12:28pm

I have the first Bloodbath EP, didn't think much of the first album. Death, another classic.
Lucky to see them live, both on the 'Human' tour and 'Individual Thought Patterns' tour (Still got my shirt from that one somewhere).

I'll have to listen to that Critical hit later, got some Merciless blasting at the moment.....

Another cover....
