This is a good cover. As much as I like it, I can't say that it's nearly as good as the original. The original is a classic. It's one of the first songs I remember hearing on the radio when I was young. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________
I've been trying to think of all of this decade's hits that are 80's remakes. I'm probably missing a few, but here is how I'd rank the ones I found.
1. Land Of Confusion - Disturbed 2. Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson 3. Careless Whisper - Seether 4. Holy Diver - Killswitch Engage 5. Darling Nikki - Foo Fighters 6. The Boys Of Summer - The Ataris 7. Love Song - 311 8. You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) - Dope 9. Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm 10. It's My Life - No Doubt 11. Word Up - Korn 12. Hard Sun - Eddie Vedder 13. Remember Tomorrow - Metallica 14. Mad World - Michael Andrews / Gary Jules 15. Another Brick In The Wall - Korn

I was gonna mention Dope and then I saw you had it on your list, so f**k yeah. I didn't forget "You Spin Me Round," but your comment reminded me of a song I did forget: "People Are People" by Dope. (It reached the top 50 of active rock in late '05 /early '06.) That should be #10 on my list.

Well there's obviously Skindred's "Electric Avenue."
Marilyn Manson covered Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" as well. I think Dope might have covered "People Are People." Lacuna Coil covered "Enjoy The Silence." Finger Eleven covered "Walking In My Shoes." Moby covered "World In My Eyes." Basically everybody covered Depeche Mode.
And my personal favorite 80's cover from this decade... Nonpoint - "In The Air Tonight" adding to the Phil Collins collection.

I'm surprised I forgot about the Depeche Mode remakes because DM is one of my favorite bands. The Nonpoint song would rank pretty high on my list. I haven't heard "Electric Avenue," and I'm not sure if I want to because I don't like the original and I'm not a big fan of Skindred.

Haha, FROM ZERO!!! Wow, I forgot about those guys. My local rock station played the hell out of "Sorry." That song is hilarious.

Their first album was weird cause it was really obvious that Jett had a voice for pop and here he was fronting this aggro hard rock band with such a stupid haircut. I always liked "Other Side" and "Gone" though. But really he was a pretty bad lyricist and the second album got worse. No great loss.

I still listen to "Check Ya" every once in a while. It's not a bad song.

"Under Pressure" was from 1980; that's another one.

I still can't wash out the bad taste of Korn's Word Up single.

I'm not a big fan of covers albums, but I did like the Tesla CD from a couple of years ago. I did not care for the Nickelback remake of Elton John nor the Kid Rock version of the Bad Company classic.
