Another Cover Version

I feel the 2016 song by 'Disturbed' s/b added here. Even though it wasreleased as 'The Sound Of Silence' (per Wikipedia) it is the same song as the 'Simon & Garfunkel' original. It is currently #54 in 2016.

You are, as always, correct. We've changed all three similar songs. Thanks
