Practically any cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart, including New Order.

And yet his version of Common People is great - even Jarvis Cocker likes it, and has played it on the radio. I wonder if he's done a cover of the Wedding Present song ?

The Muppets cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is great !

As mentioned on the other thread, the Darkness doing Street Spirit is awful

Dazed and Chinese by Bongwater makes my ears bleed but in the best possible way. Nothing wrong with a bit of ear-bleeding.


Tell you what's awful.

Guns 'N Roses doing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"

The Scissor Sisters version of 'Comfortably Numb'. Upon hearing it, I squirm involuntarily, my gorge rises, feelings of bewilderment and disbelief flood through me...then I die a little inside.
In reply to The Lemming:

Somewhere on youtube, there is a clip of Tarja (ex-Nightwish) utterly murdering "Teen Spirit"

That it is.

A broken clock tells the right time twice a day. Sooner or later he was going to get one right, but don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen again.

Is it really William Shatner's version of Common People though, or is it more Ben Folds's version, featuring William Shatner and Joe Jackson?

Personally I like the Scissor Sisters version of Comfortably Numb, but I'm sure it's a strong contender for many. No point making a cover version that sounds just like the original.

My vote goes to any X-Factor type malarky. Songs that Cowell happens to own the rights to made into proper anodyne sausage-factory pap for the masses.

It was exceptionally bad. The original is untouchable

Amy winehouse doing valerie was appalling.

Agreed. May have been better if she was sober for the recording, but she massacred one of my favourite Zutons tracks

A fecking abomination. Stripped of all it's lyrical beauty and mashed up into tiny pulpy banal pieces.
