Sure it might be the lazy way to express one's musical creativity, but it's also a surefire way for a band to get noticed [Case in point: Soft Cell's biggest hit, Tainted Love, was a cover of Gloria Jones' 1964 hit]. The practice continues to this day, with many artists offering up their own interpretations of their influence's work. One of my favorite current acts, Nouvelle Vague, is basically a Bossa Nova/Jazz/Sixties pop cover band of 70s and 80s new wave and punk hits. [By the way, they've got a new album coming out. Go buy it.]
