There are a few bad cover songs uhmm...

Anyone who tries to cover Peter Gabriel has failed miserably. A good example of this is, Erasure - Solsbury Hill (although the 37B remix isn't all that bad)

Kill Hannahs version of Fischerspooner's cover of The 15th by the wire is terribly boring.

I agree with the Kelly Osbourne and Britney Spears Covers. Those covers are pure shit.

and the award for Worst Cover Song EVER goes to T.A.T.U for slaughtering The Smiths' - How Soon is Now?

But cover songs I love are:

Baby's on Fire covered for the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack, although the guitar parts could've used some tweaking.

Depeche Mode - Route 66
Garbage - Candy Says (Velvet Underground), Can't Seem To Make You Mine (Sky Saxon/The Seeds)
The Smashing Pumpkins - Destination Unknown (Missing Persons), Never Let Me Down Again (Depeche Mode)
Tiga - Hot in Herre (Nelly)
and don't tell anyone I told you this but I like....
Huey Lewis and Gwenyth Paltrow - Cruisin (Smokey Robinson) :o

Best cover ever is probably "Big D And The Kids Table - Wailing Paddle", originaly by the Rudiments. It's very similar to the original, but it just kicks ass, especially live.
