Worst cover song? , page 1

A while back I posted "Best Concept Albums.

Now it's time for "Worst Cover Songs!"

My nominations--

#1--any version of A Whiter Shade of Pale by anyone other than Procal Harum

Worst offender is Annie Lennox, she turned a classic into elevator music

#2--Fiona Apple Across the Universe-I thought she sang it well, but slowed it down waaay to much.


#3 Heart Immigrant Song Zepplin themselves couldn't pull this off live. Should be a big red flag saying "Do Not Cover."


But to their credit, Heart totally ruled with their version of battle of Evermore

#4 Aerosmith Come Together Not a bad cover... and that IMO is the problem... it sounds exactly like the original.

#5. Korn-- Word Up God I hate this.


Allright those are mine... and you ATS?

William Shatner / Joe Jackson - Common People



There is a live video of this from a US chat show that i've seen but can't find it anywhere on YouTube, shame coz it's hilarious!

Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb

This cover is horrible.

That song prompted me to buy my first Kid Rock cd, "one man's trash is anothers treasure"

@The_Truth_Seeker....I have to agree with you, esp. since Comfortably Numb is an all time favorite of mine.

Another bad, awful, terrible cover, Jessica Simpsons cover of Robbie Williams Angels......must say any of her songs probably constitute terrible

Klaxons - The Bouncer


..btw can someone tell me the original artist of the 'acid house' track back in the early 90's please..?

Madonna - American Pie.

if you're going to have the audacity to try and cover a perfect song, do it right.
