I need to start learning that most (good) songs are probably cover versions. I've just been getting into Rufus Wainwright's 'Hallelujah' on the CD my dad gave me - it's one of the ones I was going to upload. I see the lyrics are a bit different from the Cohen version, though (according to some site). Interesting.
I'm pretty much the opposite - I find songs I like and then sort of burn through them, playing them on repeat till they don't suprise me anymore (though I still like them), then move on. Except, without the actual buying of albums, mostly. I never really had the money before. But I still feel shockingly mainstream most of the time, so I wouldn't suggest my way is better than anyone else's. People have different interests, and music's really just one of them. There's nothing wrong with only being into a couple of things, and especially not if that's how you enjoy it. And at any rate, you're enjoying it. And that's always an advantage :)
