Proper English skills are essential when speaking, especially when you expect some sort of reply.

Just a tip.

Now back to the subject, what do I think of cover songs? They're quite fine if you think you can "match up" with the original artist's version. There's so sense in covering something if you know its not as good as the original. If an artist covers too many songs, they put off an "I'm broke and I'm too lazy to write my own music," type thing. Here are some covers that made me want to gag:

Korn- Pink Floyd's the Wall
Deftones- Duran Duran's the Chauffeur
Marilyn Manson- Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus
311- The Cure's Love Song
Shinedown- Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man
