    I never listened to them much except that sick smooth criminal video, I was going to find woke lyrics to quote to show how they were always woke but damn, their lyrics are really not great and basically just whining about relationships from what I have skimmed

        To be fair you can't really control what people will like. When a song off your album gets popular you either play that shit for the rest of your life and collect your money or you don't.

            The Clash had a cover on their first album (Police & Thieves), and if you count the North American release they had a second one (I Fought The Law).

        Alien Ant Farm, Orgy, The Ataris...having a cover as your first hit seems like a surefire way to a dead end career.
