I think it surpasses the original Guess Who version. "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed is every bit as powerful for a new generation as it must have been for Simon and Garfunkel listeners back in the day. So rather than throwing away your repertoire, you might think of putting your own stamp on those songs. Is it bright and sunny? Maybe slow it down and make it heavier. Is it slow and ponderous? Increase the tempo and brighten it up. Unless you are doing "tributes covers" trying to match note-for-note and tone-for-tone (and I saw great Heart tribute recently), then the song is yours to tweak as you see fit. BIAB 2021 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit. Songwriter, lyricist, composer(?) loving all styles. Some pre-BIAB music from Farfetched Tangmo Band's first CD. https://alonetone.com/tangmo/playlists/close-to-the-ground
