Worst Covers Ever

[Pete]

Crimes against the originals.

Mine:

Britney Spears - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Anastacia and Celine Dion - You Shook Me All Night Long (JUST. NO!)
Hillary Duff - My Generation ("hope I DON'T die before I get old". 'Nuff said)
That dubstep remix of Eleanor Rigby (WHY?!)
Rob Zombie - Blitzkrieg Bop ("Ramones" and "slow" do not go together).
A random band's cover of "Holiday" by Green Day I heard live once (off-key much?)

More to come as I remember them.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I haven't really heard enough covers to really put in my full 2 cents, but all these musician's bring their own special touch to the song. Although, I do not agree with any of these people! In terms that they should not attempt covers of such classic songs.

 

[Shaun]

The All Saints cover of Under the Bridge, it's just awful. As a huge fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers hearing that version just murders my ears.

 

[The_King]

Google any type of reality singing show, and you're bound to find some of the worst covers ever. Can't think of any off the top of my head, but as a fan of the shows, every week there is at least one, and usually multiple, just terrible covers haha.

 

[Chris]

Limp Bizkit's "Behind Blue Eyes" comes to mind.

 

[Edgeomatic]

Alien Ant Farms bastardization of Smooth Criminal sticks out.

 

[Pete]

Agreed on Behind Blue Eyes, but I used to kinda dig Smooth Criminal.

 

[The_King]

MJ's original Smooth Criminal isn't very good. Then again, I'm not a big fan of MJ's sound. I like the Alien Ant Farm cover.

 

[Andy]

Periphery's cover "The Heretic Anthem" by Slipknot for sure.

 

[Vivido]

I to enjoyed the AAF cover and I to hated Behind Blue Eyes.

U2 and Greendays cover of Working Class Hero isn't really terrible, but it just doesn't come close to being as good as the orginal.

 

[Pete]

Speaking of Green Day..."We Are The Champions" by them. Billie Joe, what are you doing?!
