You may be right if you are in the older crowd or musicly cultured. But I cant tell you how many times Ive heard a great song and loved it, later to find out it was a cover. Most of the time, I end up liking the newer version, because that was the first one I heard and felt something for.
Same goes for movies and books imo.
