The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

I'd never even heard of them before I stumbled on this video, but this was a powerful read. Thanks for sharing!

I don't really care much for the original but this version is very good! Thanks for posting.

Here's a completely different take on this song by Keaton Henson. I really like this version. But it's much more somber and definitely not for everyone.

That is an interesting take. I really like their guitars and the guitar bends, very cool.

I also didn't know about songwhip.com, that seems like a pretty useful resource.
