All covers are doing is only changing the "arrangements" part of the songs, the melody is usually the original one and that's the thing that works. Gotta give them credits for those brilliant melodies.

I've had this same argument. I respect the Beatles a ton, and realize they must have been groundbreaking when they came out, but as someone who's heard bands and entire genres that were ripping off and sometimes improving on the better parts of their songs for 20 years before I was even born the original songs just don't do a ton for me.
