Disturbed Covers Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sounds Of Silence"

[Initech]

Wow. This might be one of the best covers I've heard since Johnny Cash did NIN's "Hurt".

1. I am not impressed

Sorry, but this doesn't come near to touching the original.

[Wounded Bear]

4. I agree Pinboy...

some songs should not be covered. This is one.

7. +1

10. I'll second that.

[Archae]

3. Meh.

Not bad, but not good either.

I liked their cover of "Land Of Confusion" better.

[Throd]

5. I was expecting that to be completely horrible.

It wasn't, but it wasn't very good either.

Not even in the same county as Cash's version of "Hurt"

6. Yeah I might have overrated it a bit.

I too was expecting... not the best but I was surprised that it was better than I had anticipated. That's one of those songs that if you fuck it up, nothing good can come of it.

8. Maybe the right one came and went

9. Sorry, I am a huge fan of the original.

I have heard a number of covers. I guess I am just prejudiced. I love Simon and Garfunkle together.

11. This is one of my favorite covers

A Perfect Circle - Imagine

12. My favorite version of The Sounds Of Silence is the one from Ground Zero.

13. I think it's great. My 14 yo son is a big Disturbed fan (I like them, too).

I've always loved the S&G version of this song, and I like the idea that some younger folks might get turned on to it via this cover.

Thanks for posting!

15. The late Paul Revere (and the Raiders) did fantastic covers of era hits

Paul and his son would often participate in the annual bikers' Ride to the Wall for Veterans' Day observances and Paul Revere and the Raiders sometimes performed in front of Lincoln Memorial in connection with that, sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.

I saw them perform there one rainy November night and they were fantastic doing both their own hits and covers.

'Ride to the Wall' is one of their albums that features those great covers.

R.I.P. Paul.
