If anyone's looking for new playlists to check out, musical recommendations, or just curious to see what I've put together, I've curated 60+ (and growing) playlists on Spotify. It's mainly pop. rock, country, and R&B. Look for them under profile name hotburrito9!

Not as dark metal as Children Of Bodom, but Volbeat and Motley Crue have also done covers of pop songs. Then there's Tragedy that's best known for covering Bee Gees and pop and R&B songs from 70s and 80s.
Use @secondhandsongs.bsky.social, a pretty complete database of cover tunes.

More mainstream metal bands need to follow in children of bodom's footsteps and cover pop songs tbh.

Like imagine sleep token or knocked loose covering a sabrina carpenter song.

AEW should introduce a new up-and-comer named "Ice" (because he's cold hearted and absolutely no other reason I can think of) who shows up in every angle and gets his ass beat in increasingly hilarious and cathartic ways. By everyone. Face and heels. They collectively agree they hate this man.

Agree. There's a couple Sabrina Carpenter fan accounts that don't show when you do a search for her.

Kenny Loggins at Pine Knob in 1983 (?). I was 12. Only knew him from "I'm Alright." Somehow talked older brother into taking me. #musicsky #concertsky
