evanescence's zero sucked cock as much as anything ever sucked cock...

the sex scene in gnarls barkley's gone daddy gone is a parody of fight club, right?

I think this is just one more item to add onto the list Celine Dion's Abominations

sun kil moon - tiny cities made of ashes (modest mouse). that whole album actually is pretty poor, but that one song in particular really sapped everything that was good from the original...

I actually like that album, though I've never been into Modest Mouse so having no attachment to the original versions probably makes it a lot easier to enjoy the reworkings. Mark Kozelek essentially rewrote the songs anyway, the vocal melodies and chord sequences are mostly totally different.

I'd say Guns n'Roses cover of that Paul McCartney song but then I do have a great dislike of all things axl related

Damn it! Why did I watch that ^ I knew it was going to be bad....and now I'm all upset!

I really liked the Scissor Sister's cover of comfortable numb, I heard it before the Pink Floyd original though (yeah yeah I'm a bad person). I also heard the Rasputna cover of wish you were here before the original and that's really nicely done with cellos.

You are a bad, bad person. But I agree, it was a good cover. It wasn't your standard predictable dance remix, nor was it your standard band covering a classic and doing a terrible job because they're poorer musicians. They did something creative and really different with it.

Of course most hostile and closed-minded classic rock heads(usually aged about 15) went crazy claiming that they'd ruined an amazing song and that they had no right to cover a band as godly as Pink Floyd.

Ironically enough, the members of Pink Floyd have said they really liked it.

Can I redeem myself slightly by saying I was 12 when it came out?

Then shoot myself down again and tell you it was three years till I heard the original.

only hearing that scissor sister cover now, apart from that guys (or is it a girl) voice it's actually quite a good cover. it's a pity all covers don't get the same put into them.

It's a guy on that track though Anamatronic does sing on other stuff.

electric six, Radio GaGa and the video was lame

Havent read the whole thread but if no-one's mentioned Bob Dylan's cover of 'Creep' then forshame!!

Time Magazine · 22-04-2007 04:22PM

Lol at the guitar solo in the Nirvana cover

. Sounds like an acoustic version

Mike Flowers cover of Wonderwall by Oasis.
Ronan Keating ruining Tracy Chapmans baby can i hold you tonight, and Alison Krauss`s "you say it best when you say Nothing at all".

Just watched both Comfortably numb videos and i prefer Scissor sisters...actually i just hate the SS less.

If it wasn't so dreary it would be funny!

Sinfonia · 15-08-2011 05:53PM

Weird reading posts I made four and a half years ago that I don't remember! :eek:

FWIW, I've changed my mind on that Scissor Sisters cover to some extent.
I don't love it, but I'd take it out of that list for sure.

I know the video quality is crap but even the good quality vidoes are crap too. Jamie from the Arctic Monkeys went on record saying they ruined the song

Japandroid's cover of Mclusky's "To Hell with Good Intentions" turns an angry "my c0ck is bigger than yours" anthem into a fluffy aimless ball of meh.

Japandroids are a good band but that cover is pants.

Worst covers...
