(Finished June 30th, 2021) Part 2 of Great Modern Rock (Mostly) Covers of Classic Songs

Hello,

Why does taking a great song and adding a rock feel to it make the great song even better? I don't really know the answer to that question. It's even better when the band remaking the song puts their own spin on that song and not a note for note recreation. The Five Finger Death Punch directly below is a bit harder than I would like, although it's still a fine version. Although no one will ever top the Animals original.
