Horrible horrible covers

Ok so in your opinion what is the worst cover of all time, that should not have been attempted and the band should be shot for doing?

I may just be starting this thread in response to the following horribleness....



that guy in the red shirt is the biggest pansy and no one should cover Queen. Much less David Bowie and Queen-I'll forgive Vanilla Ice cause he's funny.

my god, that was terrible. really terrible. drugs is bad.

311's cover of the cure's lovesong. fuck them right in their tone deaf ears.

At my job, we have an Annie Lennox covers album that used to have heavy rotation in our disc changer. There was a cover of "Train In Vain" on there that was just HORRID. I would rather have someone ram a rusty screwdriver through my tongue than have to endure the aural torment of that song again.

Maybe not the worst ever, but Rolf Harris's Stairway To Heaven makes me cry.

Likewise P.Diddy or whatever his name is this week and Kashmir. Wait yes, that's my vote for worst cover.

there's a commercial on tv that has some cover of big country's "in a big country" that makes me want to stomp out humanity.

Even though im a huge Rob Zombie fan, he butchered Children of the Grave and Blitzkrieg Bop. but then again there's marilyn manson's attempt at Highway to Hell. Tori Amos doing Smells Like Teen Spirit is another bad one. Jeebus, i could go on and on.

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love as butchered by The F*t*r*h**ds is one that really bothered me recently.

No shit.

"Lets do 'In A Big Country' but slow it down, and get rid of the kick ass E-Bow riff!!"

"Genius!"

What the hell is that band?

looks like members of The Used with members of My Chemical Romance.

Dear god. Jeff Tweedy should slap them.

It doesn't get much worse than Limp Bizkit doing The Wo's "Behind Blue Eyes".

Limp Bizkit covering Behind Blue Eyes by The Who.

It was my favourite Who song, and nowadays was semi forgotten...

They ruined it.

You owe me a coke, MrStiches.

+1000

Lenny Kravitz' butchering of "American Woman" should be criminalized with extreme prejudice.

Ugh, that video is a close second though. I had to stop watching once the vocals started. Fucking horrific.

It was one of the rare situations where it was so bad It actually made the original worse because The Who version reminds you of the horrible feeling you got when you first heard the cover.

Ooh, yeah. I forgot about that. As I try to do every time I am reminded of it.

Brittney Spears bastardizes Joan Jett.. No dime in the jukebox for that bitch.

nice segway.

Everybody on the London Booted Clash cover comp can suck it.

Suzanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet's Under the Covers was pretty awful. No one was more surprised than I.

Natalie Cole made a pretty big mess outta her old man's stuff.

The more I think on it, there more I realize the list is too damn long...

The studio version of them doing it is actually good.
Don't be hatin' on MCR, they're local boys, grew up with/friends with my tattoo artist/friend...
I hate most scream-o, but I like My Chemical Romance.

I don't care if they cured cancer while rescuing puppies from a burning building. That video is a travesty.
