OK,What were his biggest hits besides beautiful people? Sweet dreams(cover)
Tainted love(COVER) and Down in the park(COVER) not to mention that version was stolen, just ask Dan(NOW INC.)

 

[Skittles]

Dope Show
Fight Song
Disposable Teens
Lunchbox
I Put a Spell on You

 

[darthdarrel]

Did any of those make it to the top 10? I think NOT and I put a spell on you was also a cover.

I believe Dope Show did... and what about "I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me"

(Ok, so I'm not a Manson fan...but...I do have to give a band credit when they impress my tastes...and Mechanical Animals (which, in my opinion, is not really "manson-esque") was a great album in my eyes)

But yes...Beautiful People is a REALLY good song...

This argument is pointless.... so he had a few covers that ended up being hits, so what? He has been successful with other hits and albums regardless that a few were covers.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers did like 3 covers... Jimi Hendrix did about 3 covers too. So I guess that means ALL of their hits are covers.

Come up with a better argument, this one isn't working.

(Don't forget Aerosmith... Don't Wanna Miss a Thing was their only song to go #1 and that was a cover...and what about Come Together...)

Don't get me wrong...I love Aerosmith (new and old)...I was just stating the fact that even classic bands (some of the best ever) did cover songs that hit big.

Although...I'm trying to think of any that U2 did...I know of Unchained Melody, Everlasting Love, and Gloria...but that's all that I can think of...(but they weren't "hits" they were just extras)
