I just watched Crossroads for some unknown reason *to see britney in underwear most probally* :lol: ...But yeah it got my mind wondering what you reckon...what is the worst cover song you have heard??

Mine is out of Crossroads and yes it is

Britney Spears cover of I Love Rock N Roll originally performed by Joan Jett...

Oh and i found a quote relating to this topic that you might find funny...

"I don't know, I just love the song. I love her, Pat Benatar. I think she's amazing ... a rock 'n' roll chick."
-Britney Spears, speaking to the Boston Herald about her cover of the song "I love rock and roll"
a song made famous by Joan Jett. There is no recording of Pat Benatar ever singing the song.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

There are several that really get under my skin:

Madonna doing "American Pie"

Some country singer lady singing fucking Janis Joplin "Piece Of My Heart"

Metallica w/Bob Seger&#39;s "Turn The Page"

Some soul-sounding group did The Doors, I think it was "Light My Fire"...fuckin horrible.


The Janis Joplin one I find to be the most offensive. It just makes me ill.

two girls in Britain once done a cover of "Schools out for summer" it was in the top 20 charts too&#33; I&#39;ve forgotten their name, but it was the most awful cover of a song I&#39;ve ever heard. PLEASE can someone remind me of thier names, the inability to recall such is driving me crazy.

Ah yes, that was the names&#33; Being shot is a bit extreme, perhaps just beat to an inch of his life for knowing. Anyhow, thankyou so much now I can at least sleep knowing I know thier names now, sigh.

Anyone&#39;s cover of "Knockin&#39; on Heaven&#39;s Door."

DMX doing "Ain&#39;t No Sunshine". Another rapper ruining a perfectly good song. *sigh*

The Rolling Stones&#39; cover of "Like a Rolling Stone" is laughable when compared to the original. It&#39;s like the old saying goes, "No one can do Dylan but Dylan."

Limp Bizkit - Faith

Limp Bizkit is one of the worst groups that I have ever heard. I hate the whole damn genre of rockrap, either its rock or its rap you cant have both.

Yup, add that "nu-metal" cover of Smooth Criminal to that too.

And that god-awful Big Brovaz tune of that Mary Poppins or sound of Music song or whatever it was :x

the worst cover ?
well that must ne DJ Aligator projects version/sucky cover of Black Celebration
he just fucked that great song of Depeche Mode up
so that must be one of the worst cover songs for my point of view.

:angry: Kid Rock - Feel Like Making Love <_<

Goldfinger covered this song about 4 years ago.
I think GF did a much better version, when I heard the kid rock version I thought he was doing a cover of the Goldfinger cover...

I get a little upset whenever a band has to do a cover of someone else&#39;s writing to just get noticed:

Limp Bizkit - Faith
Marylin Manson - Sweet Dreams
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
Orgy - Blue Monday
and so forth

don&#39;t get me wrong, some of those versions are good but bands shouldn&#39;t have to use an old chart topper just to get to get to that same place on the charts.



;) just my opinion

The original wasn&#39;t to flattering either. :lol: Danzig&#39;s lead singer sounds like Louis Armstrong (the trumpet player)

I nominate: Johnny Cash&#39;s remix of the song: "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. <_<
Terrible song... <_<

I think these Artistes did Unjustice to the original Songs they covered,my thought is they done a totally crap job of them.You might think differently.

I agree with Gutter, that Kid Rock cover is horrible. One thing I hate even more that Kid Rock&#39;s version of that song, is the trend in pop music to sample entire songs. Not just a hook or a beat but really just about the entire song, sung to new lyrics.
