Today's battle comes at the suggestion of one of our readers. In 1985, Tears for Fears released Songs from the Big Chair, one of which was "Shout". Disturbed covered the song in 2000. TFF is one of my favorite bands, but "Shout" is one of my least favorite songs of theirs, largely because the song is overplayed on the radio. But it's still TFF.
I have nothing in particular against Disturbed or their cover; it's just that heavy metal is not my cup of tea. That being said, the lyrics of "Shout" lend themselves to heavy metal, and for a heavy metal song, the cover is not un-listenable. Still, it's just too darn loud. TFF can get their point across without actually shouting. There are two "covers" of the song that are better than Disturbed's....
