On today's latest episode of the cast, we delve into the plethora of cover songs that graced its way onto the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks over the years, and talk about at how some of these artists made a name for themselves by tackling a cover song that can sometimes be a daunting task, but is definitely worth it in the long run by putting your own unique spin on it. We talk about how some cover songs show off the versatility of the artist, and give them a new perspective by looking at the song in a different light than they initially did. We also talk about rare instances where the cover is more popular than the original version of the song such as Nirvana covering David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World" and Johnny Cash with his haunting rendition of Nine Inch Nails "Hurt". I also play you a clever and inventive cover by Urge Overkill with their own clever twist on Neil Diamond''s "Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon".
