A lot of 80s songs were covers of 60s and 70s hits.

Examples (along with other decades).

he did a lot of covers, but we have to give him due with Eat It. it is crazy that kids these day actually think that MJ's Beat It was the original.

This is probably one of the biggest frustrations of being an adult, thinking of all the bands I adored as a kid for writing such an epic song, only it to be an effin cover. Black Crowes, looking at you, for starters.

No, but she wrote all of her own songs. She's certainly a pop princess.

You’re entitled to your opinions, and you clearly don’t like Madonna, but saying she didn’t have any bangers is asinine. She’s a household name decades later still.
