I didn't say it was good musically, just good for exercising. I like to listen to really cheesy, and upbeat songs when I work out. I even have the "Rocky theme" on my list and I know that's totally ridiculous.
Blackout has some top tunes- No One Like You and especially China White but I have never been a huge fan of the band. Animal Magnetism is usually said to be their best album but I just couldn't get on with it. I do like Savage Amusement from 1988 although it has a commercial sound.
I`ve never heard their version of it so will give it a listen to as I love the original. Klaus Meine has such a great voice anyway so it wouldn`t surprise me that he`d do a good job.
