That's interesting, I'm not a huge Marilyn Manson fan but I do like a few of his songs and I like his version of "Tainted Love" better than Gloria Jones. I'm not saying that I dislike Gloria's version, I just like Marilyn's better. I don't care for Soft Cell's version at all.

You want to say that the taste of the song's creator isn't worth considering, while simultaneously saying that the original is better than the cover?

I don't think that's directly contradictory, but you see how it's fucked up right? Perhaps it's not a fair assumption for me to make, but I assume he has more musical training than you do, and he ought to be better suited to academically analyzing music. I drink a lot of alcohol, but it doesn't impede my ability to talk about artwork on academic level?

TL;DR: Addiction doesn't preclude expertise?
