Incredibly Generic Punk Covers of Popular Songs
Punk covers have been around a while, for example Sid Vicious cover of My Way or Dead Kennedys take on Viva Las Vegas. However, sometime in the 90s, some punk musicians from bands like NOFX and Lagwagon had managed to create a punk sound which was so uncreative that it was perfect for covering whatever songs that have traditional time signatures and are not too difficult. These covers typically sound so predictable and generic that you can imagine what they will sound like almost perfectly before you've even heard them.
One such popular band and a good example is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. However, there are many bands out there riding the wave and adding to this phenomenon's horribleness.
Here are some songs. If you want to play a game, try to imagine what they will sound like before you listen to them and then see if you are correct.
