Worst Cover Songs
 

Yep.

Anything off of Tori Amos's "Strange Little Girls" album is a definate contender.

Zwan - Number of the Beast

Durst. Faith.

dunno some chick who did an acoustic cover of i'll stop the world n melt for you

not-so-coincidental feminine theme to this thread no?

Plain White Ts-Song 2

Avril Lavigne covering Fuel on Metallica's MTV Icon. Lawd it was bad.

lol

Staind - Sober(Tool)

:mad:

Any 'alt' band cover of a Britney Spears etc-esque pop song, a) its not original, b) its not cool, c) get a proper haircut

You sure that wasn't the Nouvelle Vague?

If that was the one you were thinking of, you are a fool

If not....proceed

My Chemical Romance and The Used - Under Pressure
Green Day - Working Class Hero
Shinedown - Simple Man

OMG Working Class Hero is soooooo bad.

I loved their Bauhaus cover, BTW. Downloaded the album for that reason.

Well since anything Tori Amos does is shit, that isn't really surprising.

Also, Johnny Cash doing Hurt makes me want to vomit. And I LIKE Johnny Cash.

Quite possibly the worst cover ever. Though it usually gets worshipped because people think Cash can do no wrong. He can. That song was a good example. It doesn't shit on his career, but it certainly was shit.

And a lot of those people actually think he WROTE the song, so...

I don't hate it with a passion, but "Hurt" is definately up there with the worst ever...I dunno what it is, thats a hard one to pick out.

Cash's cover of "Personal Jesus" was worse.

I'm glad someone agrees with me on that, I never liked that song.

So reading this debate about "Hurt" I watched the videos for both on youtube, and Cash's version is much better than the original.

I must assume that you are on crack, cocaine, or crack cocaine.

I think that is the biggest reason people love it so much, they think it was him, they saw the video, they understood the link and the majority of them have never even heard of Nine Inch Nails.

If you ever get the chance to see them I would highly recommend going.

Saw them at Reading Festival last year and it was like a massive party packed into 45 minutes, I'd never heard of them at that point and it was just brilliant waiting to see what cover they'd pull out next.

Oh and my contribution is Poison The Well's version of Today by the Smashing Pumpkins. Anyone who can fuck up Corgan's vocals even more has got to be a complete retard.

I've noticed people think Cash wrote a lot of his biggest hits, personally, so the fact that Johnny Cash fans might not know who wrote the song doesn't surprise me. If they can't figure out that he's covering a country song, imagine how hard it'd be to figure out he's covering an industrial song.

I can't say I've heard that one. If it's worse than "Hurt," I'm not sure I want to.

uh, any techno remix, but ever time I hear boys of summer by DJ Sammy I wanna cut my ears off

Techno doesn't count as music. If it does, my album of Acme sound effects from Warner Brothers cartoons also counts.

Children Of Bodom's cover of Oops I Did It Again is amazing

CoB also do a great cover of "The Final Countdown."

KD Lang - Hallelujah...ugh

Mike Flowers Pop - Wonderwall

KD Lang....There's the problem.

My Morning Jacket - Take My Breath Away

Listening to it right now, and it hurts.

I fucking hate that fucking latest cover of Wonderwall, not the spoof one from that camp pleb around the same time as the original, but the one that gets played on all the US teen dramas, fucking cunts:foc:

The one by Ryan Adams? If so, your opinion on this matter is very wrong.

Ryan Adams should slit his wrists in a nice warm bathtub, alternitively I will stab him in the throat and fuck his mother, for a price ofcourse.

ct2k, you have accurately described what I wish would happen to you. The only detail that you left out was that I wish for the knife that slit your wrists to also stab you in the asshole repeatedly. Preferably before you are dead so that you feel the pain.
