Look I like Disturbed, and Land of Confusion is an amazing cover.

But under no circumstances is Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence better than the original.

Great shout _abio. Great 80’s power ballad. From Karate Kid 2. Also agree with Angry Anderson “Suddenly”. Another classic.

2 of my faves are REO Speedwagon “Keep On Loving You” and Europe “The Final Countdown”
