Bananarama’s covers of “Venus” and “Aie a Mwana” were better than the original. Tatu’s cover of “How Soon is Now?” is a better song than the original. So is Pet Shop Boys’ “Always on My Mind” and Basia’s “Till you Come Back to Me.” I’m thinking the trend today is less covers and more samples, which I find to be an overdone practice.

Strongly disagree with you on "Venus".
