Cover records? How come cover records went out of style. Back in the day, an artist might cover a records only a few months after it was released. Why did the trend stop? PRINCE: Always and Forever

Good question. The last artists I've notice to do a cover were No Doubt cover The The's It's My Life. | |

Nowadays, they sample 'em into "new songs",
like that one Kid Rock song (Sweet Home Alabama, I think it is....) | |

Back in the day, those who made cover records, had the chops to cover them decently. Now, with all of the T Pain's and all of the other "Crackerjack" prize type singers there is a lot more pressure on them to do it right. Nobody want to take that chance.
