What are your least favorite cover songs?

Question

Mine:
Marilyn Manson - Down in the Park (Original - Gary Numan)
Metallica - Loverman (Original - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)
Metallica - Die, Die, Die, My Darling (Original - The Misfits)
Metallica - The Wait (Original - Killing Joke)
Orgy - Blue Monday (Original - New Order)
BiGod20 - Like A Prayer (Original - Madonna -- Truth be told, I don't like either version much, but the BiGod20 version is so god awful it makes me want to vomit)
Rammstein - Stripped (Original - Depeche Mode)

Additional Details

Hazy - The biggest problem I had with the Blue Monday cover is when it came out, I was in HS, and all the teens I went to school with, thought Orgy wrote it. That drove me nuts. Also, being a fan of industrial music, it is not "raw" it is rather "weak". Cheak out Skinny Puppy if you want something raw.

Check, not cheak. Sorry for the typo. My keyboard is screwed up.

Blazers - Jonas Bros doing Beatles? UGH.

Chris - ugh. That sounds terrible.

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Dislike Metallica's version of Whiskey in a Jar (originally Thin Lizzy) and

Knockin on Heaven's Door by GnR (originally Bob Dylan - and don't hate, this is my opinion and I prefer the more solomn Dylan version than that of Axl's screeching one)

Answer 13

Sheryl Crow - "Sweet Child 'o Mine" (original by Guns 'n' Roses)

That is one of the worst, hands down.

Answer 14

HIM: Wicked Game

That Sugar Ray cover of Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" Mark McGrath can't sing, and Joe Jackson is one of my piano heroes. (But the Anthrax cover of Jackson's "Got the Time" is excellent.)

Answer 15

Gnarls Barkley - "Gone Daddy Gone" (orig. Violent Femmes)

I cringe when I hear it, they sucked all the sarcasm out of the song and actually made a GREAT Violent Femmes song, boring.

Answer 16

Linkin Park covering NIN's "Wish" is probably the worst I've heard:
