Best and worst cover songs

[Warpaint]

Might as well start off with the biggies

Best:


Worst:

 

[Damocles]

This Is How You Cover A Song...




This Isn't... The Worst Cover EVER

 

[bubbadabut]

That Puddle of Mudd one creases me every time

I suppose best is Sinead O'Connor, Nothing Compares 2U.

For worst I really hate the Mad World cover by Gary Jules. I like my maudlin stuff but I thought it was very depressing. I love Tears for Fears though.

 

[rainonme]

One of my favourite covers:



Meanwhile there's loads of awful live lounge covers out there

 

[Sancrow]

Worst,
Behind blue eyes - limp bizkit

 

[emm]

There are a lot I think are really good, I love the Scala choir for the covers they do, but I really love hamish cohan's cover of with or without you

Worst are any where they don't significantly change the song imo, what is the point?

 

[bubbadabut]

Worst,
Behind blue eyes - limp bizkit

I would add their cover of George Michael's "Faith" to that too

 

[Right on top of that rose]

The worst by a country mile

 

[Warpaint]

One of my favourite covers:



Meanwhile there's loads of awful live lounge covers out there

There was that annoying time with the live lounge where literally everyone was doing that Gnarles Barkley song....badly

 

[Stripper Vicar]

The Manic Street Preachers cover of Umbrella is perfection

 

[bolimepipi]

oh my god that puddle of mud cover ahahaha jeez

 

[Beefymcbeefy]

Two of the best

 

[Heyholetsgo]

I hate that Sinead o Connor song, must be the only person in the world that doesn't like it!

 

[Warpaint]

I hate that Sinead o Connor song, must be the only person in the world that doesn't like it!

It has been so overplayed it's just annoying now

I love this cover of Creep.




This cover still haunts me.

 

[Emperor]

Worst,
Behind blue eyes - limp bizkit

That's my gast well and truly flabbered; I didn't know it was a cover. I really liked it but now I'll need to check out the original.
