I know this is an obscure entry compared
to the more recent and obvious ones chosen but about 6 years ago a Hendrix
tribute album came out called "Stone Free" . Clapton did justice to the
original version of that song and Seal with Jeff beck did justice to Manic
depression. And then in the lousiest choice of bands to cover hendrix on
the record, they went and chose the Cure of all the bands they could've
to cover Purple Haze. A horrible choice and a disgrace to Jimi and the
record buyer!
ApoX
Excuse me, but are you spitting on, and
talking dirt about Limp Bizkit, 'cause Slipknot say so? Don't get me wrong,
I love Slipknot, and the (§ic)ness about it. BUT, let's not forget
that Limp Bizkit were much more famous and popular than before Slipknot
started their debate against them. I like Nookie & Break stuff of "Significant
Other" by Limp. By the way, you should listen to Children of Bodom's cover
of Sepultura's Mass Hypnosis. It RulZ! Bye 4 now!
ApoX
Have you heard Dimmu Borgir's cover of
Accept's "Metal Heart"? That one was good. Then a band called Rockstar
made a cover of Rammstein's "Du Hast"! That one was bad! Shitty! Some covers
are good, and others are bad. Let the good ones rule, and the bad ones
disappear in time. ApoX Rule the EaRtH! Pantera, by the way, ROCKS!

covers are good if they are done well...

You are definitely right
about your #1 pick, that Madonna remake of "American Pie" is just aweful.
The best remake in history is CAKE's remake of "I Will Survive" listen
to it, it's just awesome. CAKE RULES!
www.animeotaku.com
I'll just add some of my
favourite covers: Orgy's blue monday, Bizkit's cover of Ministry's thieves(its
a bootleg), Dynamit Hack's cover of NWA's boz-n-the-hood, Blink182's cover
of the Ramones' dancing with myself, POD's cover of U2's bullet the blue
sky, Puffy's every breath you take(especially when sting did it with him
on mtv), Korn and Chino's wicked, Urge Overkill's cover of Niel Diamond's
girl you'll..., 30-foot-tall's cover of creep by radiohead, White Zombie's
cover of KC and the Sunshine band's boogie man,....I could go on for days,
I love covers,....

I heard a country version
of a Beatle's song but I don't know who did it. In any case, you do not
defile the Beatles with country twang. They should burn.
Andy@thespookykids.com
How can you possibly leave
American Woman 'by' Lenny Kravits off this list? That cover is as bad,
if not worse than American Pie. What the hell were you thinking. But i
definately agreed with the rest. Actually, i cant remember ever hearing
a cover live up to the original. BIZKIT $UCK$ -andy-

Hey guys just forget all
the $hit ya mentioned as the worst cover ever&give the f**kin crown
to Britney Spears!!! Little b***h just meant to cover one of the most kick-a$$
songs ever, "Satisfaction"!!!!!!! i just heard some secs of this song in
my little sis's room (yeah my sis likes her-shame) and just tried not to
vomit there!! AAAAAAHHH i can kill that fat-a$$!!!!! also guys, sorry but
Limp Bizkit f**kin rules...Admit it or not, they do&they don't need
your a$$e$ to prove it!!!!

I really liked Leif Garret's

orgy's cover for new orders
"blue monday" kix a$$!!!! the original verson was so lame and horrible,
orgy made a great cover!!!!

I AGREE Especially with
the Madonna bit!
Blonde319
I would have to add Shawn
Colvin's entire "Cover Girl" album in which she dedicates an entire album
to lame covers. Especially "Every litlle thing HE does is Magic." Whatever!!
I think that Semi-Sonic's version of Erotic City was pretty cool. I agree
that Marilyn Manson's cover of Highway to Hell was pathetic. "Crimson &
Clover" was a good remake by Joan Jett!
mando
i think you S$%!.the remake
of faith was awsome!!!!
jackson joe
kid rock, needs to get a
life and listen to his music before he sells it nobody want to here about
how great his thinks he is, limp bizket or should i say limp noodle, noting
like hereing the same power cord for a hole song, enough said
djdarin
I agree with tonkpilssic
one of the worst things an artist can do is change the lyrics, for example
tiffany singing i saw HIM standing there.
TonkpilsSic
The worst thing any artist
can do is change the lyrics with the same melody in the background. You
cant change the lyrics to a great song, and then sing you new lyrics to
the same music. This was done by busta rhymes when he did "Ironman", also
F*@#$ puff daddy to "Kashmir", and Kid Rock with "sad but true." The songs
are so bad they just make me want to cry.
djdarin
britney spears cover of
stones satisfaction bits it bigger than any other cover. by the way if
you wanna hear a cool cover check out travis thrashing britneywith hit
me baby one more time
Gotti
Yes I agree Madonna's American
Pie was very bad, but this award goes to Busta Rhymes "Iron Man" hands
down. He butchers Ozzy's classic.
Laura
I think you're right ...
I also wanted to add that dope's version of "you spin me round" is sooo
terrible, they should never have done that. BUT, interestingly, there is
a good cover of that song that i heard by a band called Uranium 235 that
i really liked (one of the few covers i've ever liked), you might find
it interested @ http://www.uranium235.com
SubXavier
Arrgh... you made me take
a break from my music. I just had to respond to Buff down there: It may
sound odd, but I like some bands with singers that can't sing very well.
It makes the music have character and strength, and assures you that it
was done FOR THE MUSIC, not for the money. And I hope to god you never
have a suicidal thought... you wouldn't want to become a loser, now would
you.
banana
some artists have built
their careers out of making cover versions. i can think of whitney houston
doing "greatest love of all" and "i will always love you", vonda shepard
and harry connick jr and many others. but i must agree that most remakes
sound downright horrible. i guess for madonna after playing eva peron,
making remakes of old song has become in'evita'ble. i absolutely hate her
version of "american pie". also hated celine dion's "when i fall in love"
, that dragged out nat king cole's classic into a mushslide.

your comments are true-bands
like korn -limp ruin it for true metal heads this music trows people away
from real heavy stuff-and makes metallica write to commercial because they
want record sales not good tunes so what think of that limp heads with
korns on their face
Brian
I would probably throw Orgy's
cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" because the orignal is just a way overlooked
masterpeice of the 80s that was just remade by NIN ripoffs. Oh, By the
way, Don McLean reeks high hell (he's such a Dylan impersonator).
SAUL
I Have just heard Take That's
versian of Teen Spirit. Definitely the worst remake ever by far.
Joey
Best covers- Jimi Hendrix/
All Along the Watchtower, Van Halen/ You Really Got Me, Nirvana/ The Man
Who Sold the World...Where Did You Sleep Last Night?, Foo Fighters/ Baker
Street, Whiskey in the Jar/ Metallica
Good covers: GnR's Knockin'
on Heavens Door, Anything off of Nirvana's Unplugged album and a whole
bunch more that I can't remember.
BUKSTER
Worst Cover: AC/DC's "Highway
To Hell" by Marilyn Manson. Some good covers: Queens' "Get Down, Make Love"
by Nine Inch Nails; Gordon Lightfoots' "Sundown" by Elwood; and Tears For
Fears' "Shout" done by Disturbed.

Oh man, the worst remakes
are anything Puffy gets his hands on, he just su(ks a$$. Some really good
remakes would have to be Jimi Hendrixs version of Like a Rolling Stone,
Deftones version of the Chaufuer, and I gotta go with Nirvanas version
of the Man who Sold the World, later!
Joey
Go listen to Britney Spears's
cover of the Stones' "Satisfaction"...its so bad, it should require an
entire website to accurately represent its disgustingness. Putting it as
the number one worst cover on this site wouldnt even do justice to its
level of garbage.
JuStSaYoZzY
Best remakes= pantera's
version of black sabbaths planet caravan (Far Beyond Driven), slayer's
cover of that priest tune on south of heaven, biohazard's cover of the
sab's after forever (though it can't touch the original) and all those
old metallica garage covers.
PERRYFERREL666
The best cover ever is Janes
Addictions cover of Ripple by the Greatful Dead...The worst cover ever

Tori Amos is a KUNT!!! Listen
to Melvins cover Smells like teen spirit on the BOOTLICKER!!!!!

I nearly burst into tears
when "puff daddy" remade Zepplin's "Kashmir", and Maddona shredded "American
Pie", those two are easily the biggest crimes in the history of music.
Saul
Best remake GN'R Mama Kin
or anything on Nirvana's Unplugged album. It is possible to like Nirvana
and Guns N' Roses. Kurt best musician? not likely. Best songwriter maybe.
Also Limb bizkits Faith Is great but I have to agree American Pie was butchered
by Maddona
Grrrrrunge
Hey ya forget the worst
remake ever, Sheryl Crow's cover of the GN'R hit Sweet Child O' Mine. Thats
an utterly ridiculous song man. madonna come 2nd to me.
Slim Shady
Uhhh... OK. Madonna's remake
is so sad. It makes Don McLain cry I'd bet. But Limp's remake of Faith
was brilliant. It started ushering in the return of rock. So shut up about
it. How about Bratney Spears' "I Cant get no Satisfaction" remake. That
goes as the worst song, period.
Some Girl
Worst Remake has to be Puff
Daddy's remake of Led Zeppilin's Kashmire...
smudgie
I can't agree with derek
that people only cover songs cause they're desperate, what if they really
love the song too? Of course, if they really loved it they would either
leave it alone in the first place or just not mess it up so badly. Personally,
I t
mlsstar619
good cover metallica "turn
the page", bad cover tori amos "smells like teen spirit"
LoKi Omega
Well, i'm going to judge
the remake by how good it was before. With Limp Bizkit, their song s.ucked
but it was MUCH better than the original. You have to admit that. And Madonna's
remake was just making a good classic song into MTV sheepshizt. I think
the amount of revulsion to a remake is how well you liked the original
version. Also many Pop artists try to get a wider audience by remaking
some other genre's music, but i don't think it works too well. For now
listen to some dance/techno/acid/house where everyone copies the beats
and songs are 500 characters long!
LoKi Omega
Well, i
A Cab
Lenny Kravitz's ``American
Woman'' made me want to vomit. There are some good covers out there, from
Hendrix's remake of ``All Along the Watchtower'' (even Dylan was impressed)
to NIN's redo of Joy Division's ``Dead Souls'' on the first ``The Crow''
soundtrack. But all of these current bands who release remakes as singles
to draw attention to themselves should be shot. People like George Thorogood
remake the blues as a tribute to the original artists, not to try and capitalize
on someone else's work.
DianeDT
Here are some good covers:
Respect, Aretha Franklin; Dancing In the Street, Bowie & Jagger; Whole
Lotta Love, Tina Turner; Mustang Sally, Wilson Pickett; Mystery Train,
Elvis; Rock and Roll, Heart . About the Madonna thing: It certainly wasn't
her best effort. However, I have always thought that the lyrics to Ameican
Pie represented the most self-conscious rock poetry in existence, and--frankly--I
was glad to hear someone cut out a bunch of them. It's okay to give a song
a new sound. Even Britney's 90's sound for Satisfaction is valid. Sorry.
I can't believe that I said that, but I'm trying to be objective.
DianeDT
Here are some good covers:
Respect, Aretha

Hey BUFF, aren't u too old
to be here, Gun N' Roses is the stupidest band to come from L.A. I hate
Axl's whiney voice, it sounds like his nuts r being squeezed by a nutcracker
Wassie
Firstly, Madonna should
be ashamed of herself , antiGUY, youre absolutley right, you cant change
a song like that so much into something compleatley different, everytime
i hear it i wanna be sick, also i think All Saints idd a cover of "under
the bridge" by RHCP, im not sure though but if im right someone beat them
with a lead pipe cause you just dont touch the classics like that, its
quite sad and it makes me MAD!

I totally agree about the
Vincent remake. It ate some major f*** d***! But I think there are some
worse songs out there than Faith.
GOD
BY FAR the worst cover I
have ever heard ever was "smells like teenspirit" by Tori Amos. OH MY GOD
it s.u.c.k.e.d. so much I was almost in tears.
Beaners123
Ok - I agree, Sheryl Crow's
remake of "Sweet Child O' Mine" made me plug my ears and weep into my oatmeal.
I DO think Dave Matthews does a rocking cover of "All Along the Watchtower"
(the one with John Popper and Trey Anastasio). But that's just my (not
so humble) opinion.
Misanthropic
I might get blasted for
this but I think that the worst cover is Marilyn Manson doing Sweet Dreams.
Just for kicks some of my favorite cover songs are: Fudge Tunnel doing
Sunshine of My Love, Living Colour doing Sunshine of My Love(hey, the original
was great and these are two interesting takes on a classic), Type O Negative
doing Summer Breeze, and I don't know if this last one counts as a cover
because to the best of my knowledge they only played the song in concert,
but if you watch the video S.O.D. Live at Budakon you'll see S.O.D. play
Territorial Pissings by Nirvana. Even though Billy Milano had to read the
lyrics off a sheet it was still cool..
sporker
just to add to the list
of lame covers, brittany spears covered 'satisfaction' by the rolling stones.
just dispicable
sporker
hehehe, faith. funny. faith
was one of the biggest poseur songs of the decade. limp bizkit isnt a terrible
band but that song just blew chunks. and madonna ruined american pie. whatttaya
gonna do?
Plaid Princess
I don't agree with your
NOFX opinion. I think they're worst cover song was their version of "Last
Caress" by The Misfits. It was good and everything but you can't just make
that song any better than the orginal. Though I must agree MXPX did some
awesome cover songs like "Summer of '69" and "The KKK Took My Baby Away"
by the Ramones (and I LOVE the Ramones!).
Buff
THE WORST COVER WAS SHERYL
CROW'S REMAKE OF "SWEET CHILD OF MINE". SHE MESSED UP A GREAT SONG. ANY
ONE WHO THINKS KURT IS A BETTER SINGER THAN AXL ROSES IS FU*KING CRAZY.
KURT WAS SUCH A LOSESER HE HAD TO KILL HIM SELF. HE KNOW HE WOULD NVER
BE AS GOOD A SONGWRITTER AS AXL ROSES.

SirAaronP
The BIzkit' cover of "Faith"
was pretty lame.. Thanks for keeping your head straight.

Azure
Thank you for the answer.
I had a feeling someone would know, so I checked back in. During the course
of the evening, I remembered another good remake song that most everyone
would agree with. The remake was done by the Soup Dragons, the tune being
"I'm Free" (the 'Don't be afraid of your freedom' tune you hear on TV commercials)
originally done by the Rolling Stones many, many moons ago. The remake's
tempo is much faster. In this case, I'd say the remake was better than
the original.
Azure
For the life of me, I can't
recall the name of the band that did the cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds
and Rust", but it was pitiful. I've heard better during a last-call Karaoke
night at the pub. I hate remakes and overdubs. They pi$$ me off and ruin
what typically used to be a good song. Rarely are there exceptions, but
one I found was done by Sublime, remaking the Grateful Dead's "Scarlet
Begonias" on their 40oz to Freedom CD.
Judas
Priest did a cover of "Diamonds and Rust". -aG
dimmaen
why haven't anyone mentioned
Mariah Carey's cover of Pamela Anderson's boobs?
CacaBonita
I actually enjoyed NOFX's
Vincent :o) I think you need to put up the 5 best covers ever....next time
If
I can find 5 good covers I will think about it. -aG
Wow.
I am worried about everyone
here. I mean, no one even mentioned Britney Spears' horrifying re-make
of the Stones' classic "Satisfaction". I was on the verge of tears when
I heard it.
AC
I Think Limp Bizkit's remake
was great especially compared to Lenny Kravits remake of American Women
or Sheryl Crows remake of Sweet Child Of Mine
Slunk
I don't think the NOFX version
of Vincent is one of the 5 worst cover songs! Try Cheryl Crow's version
of "Sweet Child of Mine", the origional was bad enough. Rednecks. P.S Korn,
Bizkit, Kid Rock and all of the stupid clone bands $uck.
BadHabit
Limp SUX,so does Madonna--she
reached THE taboo that I can legitimately b itch about with the american
pie ITS JUST NOT RIGHT! I loved KoRn's Lodi Dodi --*Jon can do NO wrong*
ShivasIrons
Lenny Kravitz both súcked
and blew with his "American Woman" cover. The Guess Who (a bunch of good
Canadian boys) did it right the first time.
kev
i agree. one you should
have added was fine young cannibles version of suspicious minds
Metal Melissa
I think Limp Bizcuit $ux
my foot and they need to understand that Metal and rap don't mix. Kid Rock's
a stupid idiot, especially his new song "American Bada$$". James &
Lars helped put that song together but I still think it's a ripoff of "Sad
but True". Screw MTV and all their sellouts.
