"Simple Man"

Many people entertain themselves with music. Whether it be listening to music, composing music, making music, music can be very entertaining. In particular, some certain types of music seem to be more entertaining than others, and even more specifically, certain songs seem to be more entertaining. One way to see how entertaining a song appears to be would be the amount of covers of that song that have been made. Not the covers made by people who do covers of songs regularly, but that does help, but I mean when bands make a cover of another bands song. Whether this be live at concert only, or for an album. One such example is the song Simple Man, originally by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This song has been made a cover by a few bands, most notably by the band Deftones, Confederate Railroad, and perhaps the most famous cover by Shinedown. Shinedown has made two versions of the song, an acoustic version as well as a rock version, and their cover of Simple Man is very popular. However, the original by Lynyrd Skynyrd is arguably more popular and better known, but it can be argued that the Shinedown cover (either the acoustic or the rock version of the song) is the most well-known cover. Many people are fans of either Lynyrd Skynyrd, Shinedown, or both, and they entertain themselves with listening to their songs. One of those songs is Simple Man, entertaining a large amount of people around the world as they listen to the song, no matter the artist.
