Say what you will about Disturbes “Sound of Silence” cover. It’s one of the most awful covers I’ve EVER heard!! And I’ve heard A LOT of covers!! I don’t get why it’s still so popular! You could EQ and mix that turd all you wanted too and it would still be a turd! Simon and Garfunkel’s version is MUCH better!!

Yeah I agree, I never got why people act like it’s better than the original
It’s bad.
It almost makes me laugh out loud when he starts bellowing lol
It’s not better than the original but it ain’t bad either. The lead singers voice is so haunting
I dont like it but there are distinctly worse covers
Let’s get you back to Facebook grandpa
Definitely unpopular opinion
Nice try Trump.
All of disturbeds covers are awful
It’s not great, but it also doesn’t totally suck. I would always pick the original if I had to choose
It’s really awful. First time I heard it I thought it was a bad joke. It’s so bad it’s kind of good in a campy ironic way. The 90 year-old guy at the gym came unglued when it started playing, cracked me up.
I love the sound of David Draimans voice and I prefer their version. But there are no right or wrong answers here. Music is art and art is subjective. It all depends on the preferences of the individual. I personally like the more metal sound of the song. Simon and Garfunkle are very talented musicians and songwriters and their original version is and always will be a classic.

lol my cousin is obsessed with that version and played it every time I got in the car with him. So I insisted that my phone be paired with his car just so I could play the Simon & Garfunkel version. He has the audacity to say “…oh is this an old version?” lmao. Almost popped a gasket.
I don’t think this is as unpopular as you make it out to be lmao
this is definitely popular. not to me, though, since i love that version just as much as the original. not jumping on random band hating bandwagons.
Thank you. I hate that version and I don’t understand why people have such a hard on for it.
Anything five finger death punch is also terrible imo
And any of their songs in general.
Disturbed isn’t my cup of tea, but they also don’t use an obsessive amount of autotune and have you heard any puddle of mud covers? They’re easily one of the worst bands out there, musically and in general.
I also hate it very much.
People always assume I like it because I like metal.
“It’s SO emotional!”
Blech.
Interesting. Paul Simon disagrees.
I don’t think it’s bad. I just think it’s CORNY AS F**k.
David Draiman is also a gigantic prick, so there’s that. And all of his music is entirely generic to top that off.
Honestly, when it was making the rounds however many years ago I thought I was not in on some joke. It was just dull, monotonous, and just all around completely bland. I’ll take Limp Bizkit’s Behind Blue Eyes cover.
The original is so much better.
Yeah I think this isn’t even super unpopular. The original vibe reflects the lyrics. The cover makes no sense.
At first I thought you were gonna defend it, glad I was wrong.
Yeah hard agree it’s fucking terrible.
Totally agree. Not only is the Simon and garfunkel version better, but I think that their original version – without the drums – is even better than the hit version!
It is pretty poor
