Yeah "Sweet Jane" everytime I hear that song I think of Natural Born Killers anything by L7 to.

Speaking of bad covers has anyone heard Korn's version of "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd? So terrible it almost ruined the Floyd version for me.

Dancing Days.......Stone Temple Pilots original Led Zeppelin

I have to say Avril's version of Kncoking on Heaven's Door blows. There ws no attitude, no feelings. Just mono-tone type singing.

Cory Hart's version of I can't help falling in Love is the best version. Elvis' is too slow and UB40's is too Reggae.

Dixie Chicks' version of Landslide is better than Juice Newton's

I like Nirvana's The man who sold the World.

Celine's version of I drove all Night, blows as well.

Well who ever did Landslide first... The Dixie Chicks' version was better.
it was written by Stevie Nicks and obviously she did it first but i agree that the dixie chicks did it better ...

Britaney's version of My Perogative absolutely stinks big time.

I like Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me with George Michael

Metallica's version of Stone Cold Crazy is not bad.

Barenaked's version of Lover's in a Dangerous Time (or town) sucks big time.

Who ever covered I go Blind sucks.

Didn't like Warrant's version We Will Rock You.

I have no comment on Whitney's version of I Will always Love you.

Everclear's version of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl"
I liked both versions (I secretly always wanted to have brown eyes)!

Was channel surfing about a month back and saw a group of scantily clad women on a huge stage in front of a live audience singing Tainted Love (originally by Soft Cell). These ladies did an AWESOME job -- anybody know who it was?

Well I do wonder about the number of songs that Marilyn Manson has covered so far. Tainted Love, Personal Jesus And Sweet Dreams (are made of this).

But then what's worse? Covered songs? or Remake (Remade) songs? You know giving them a more dancy (dancing) sound to it.

Blues Traveller's 'Gin and Juice' is much better than Snoop Dogg's original...


whoever did the punk version of the Stones' 'Paint it Black' ruined it! (still played over and over on the Fox)


and dont forget (all you rockers!!) that Judas Priests 'Green Manalishi' rocks the original Fleetwood Mac version...
....keep the faith! lol...

yes, we have all puked to 'Stars on Long Play' ...

however, the remix version of Elvis' something or another 'satisfaction' that is now the theme song for Vegas is good ... much better than the original.

which brings up: My Way ... written by a Canadian (Paul Anka) for Frank Sinatra but also used as a signature song by Elvis ...

whose was better?

Blue eyes or bedroom eyes???
