13 Best Hidden Tracks On Hard Rock Albums

3. Seether - "Careless Whisper"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7imqO-OBVk What's with bands hiding their cover songs like they're part of some extremely poorly researched scavenger hunt? Are they all just so ashamed that they didn't completely fill up their album with original songs that they'd rather toss an invisibility cloak over any track that has someone else's name in the writing credits? Could anyone have pictured this saxophone-laden George Michael song getting the hard rock treatment before Seether made it a reality in 2007? And if they somehow had that foresight, did they really expect it to sound this ridiculously good? Remember, this was at a time when cranking up the distortion on cheesy 80s songs hadn't yet become commonplace on hard rock radio, when Korn doing a cover of Cameo's "Word Up!" was still too goofy to be taken seriously.
