Pat,
I can understand your thoughts on this however I'd like to comment. The reason you are probably bored are two fold:
1.You're better at what you do then you let on
2.They aren't as good as they think

Now granted there are 2 schools of thought when doing covers:
1.Sound like the record
2.Don't sound like the record
Not very dramatic but I bet the camp is split on this.
