Worst Cover Songs

[spring90]

Well it's true, I've listened to most of the covers she's done, Excepyt for her cover of 'Chop suey' and they all are really bad...

 

And with her new album out, I know I'm going "*sigh* I miss you from when you first came out, you were so much less annoying and easy to ignore..."

cake - war pigs

 

dear god it is shit.

[bishopx]

There is truth in that Garsk...

 

Okay this one has been pissing me off for years:

 

311 - Lovesong

 

It's like "How to fuck up a great Cure Song 101"

[Some Random]

did they even change it? i haven't heard it in so long, and i hadn't heard the original till recently.

[Guest Prosis]

Oasis - Within You Without You (just Liam's voice on it is awful)

[Shiri]

Avril Lavigne - Fuel

I completely forgot about that MTV Icon thing, man, that totally sucked. Do they even do that anymore? I remember there was one for Aerosmith too

They put that junky assed synth ska/reggae shit they play into it, and it took all of the emotion out of the song. I want to beat them for this.

remembered this one today. pennywise doing 'stand by me' on their first(?) album. the word 'fuck' has no place in that song.

[Shiri]

Haha, that's sounds awful just by description.

[bishopx]

God that does sound awful.

 

I heard Some girl doing a cover of Michael Penn's "No Myth" someone should find her and pimp slap her ass.

[Gomo]

I much prefer Matthew Good Band's Enjoy the Silence over the original. It's just got such a better beat to it.

 

And Ryan Adams' cover of Wonderwall is indeed pretty sweet.

 

But this thread is about sucky covers so let's see....

 

I don't mind Rob Thomas, but I'm pretty sure his cover of 1979 sucks. And I think some band recently covered the goo goo dolls' Iris, which was a bad idea because they fucking ruined it.

I do not like Rob Thomas, and I heard that cover...Billy Corgan should beat him mercilously with his guitar.

[Shiri]

I don't even want to hear that cover! It just bound to suck

[bishopx]

I heard it purely by accident...and it wasn't a happy accident...like waking up with a hot blonde in your bed, and you don't remember how she got there..but that kind of zipping yourself in your fly kind of painful unpleasant accident...

[Shiri]

Haha, Charles, you're awesome.

[bishopx]

I do have moments of greatness, Shiri...

 

I did hear Shooter jennings Cover "A Boy Named Sue" It was not cool
