Postmodern crisis ( Copying songs)

The Bee Gees one of my favorite bands, and they have so many memorable songs for many people. some band took advantage from there songs to gain fame singing there song to raise there name in music.

one of the songs that i love is Words and they released this song in 1968. 

   

One if the famous band how they copy this famous song is Boyzone :

Although they did it very good but stil they did not add any thing new to the music industry.

One also of my favoret songs of Bee Gees is  How Deep Is Your Love .

another band also copy the same song "Take That"

 

They did a good job with the song and i am sure many people listen to the song from them not from Bee Gees .

Another famous singer is Cat Steven's  and his song  father and son 

It had been copied by the same band i mention at the beginning Boyzone :
