Answer 2

hi Silver, 2 that right now come to suggestions are Michael Bolton's undesirable emasculation of The 4 Tops' brilliant, functional "attain Out, i'd be There". properly, perchance this can be a touch harsh, yet, it really is extremely 'orrible. the 2d is a few singer's conceal of the Dobie gray classic, "flow Away". It grants no longer something to the unique and the performance isn't as committed from the singer & musicians using the undeniable fact that's interior the unique. A waste of time. i do not even understand the call of the singer who covers it, and that i'm now unlikely to waste the ability to attempt to be certain - for this reason no links (sorry about that). For perfect conceal? Priest's version of the fairway Manalishi (with both-pronged Crown) knocked my ears off when I first heard it 30 years in the past. impressive potential! i changed into in teenage-heavy-metallic-youngster heaven when I heard that on Chicago FM radio. :-) For perfect offbeat conceal is pink Floyd's The Wall - the whole album - finished in bluegrass kind by ability of Luther Wright and the Wrongs. Preposterous, and somewhat a attain, yet especially pleasing and commonly wonderful.

Answer 3

Britney Spears covering Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones....

Answer 4

No...

But Linkin Park did a cover song for Nine Inch Nails (wish) I really love Linkin Park's version better!!!

I heard the original but I think Linkin Park did a good job.

Answer 5

Gnarls barkley covering Gone Daddy Gone by the Violent Femmes. Although I love "Crazy"

Answer 6

Sheryl Crow's cover of "Sweet Child O Mine"

When Puff Daddy did that song with Jimmy Page--horrible

Puddle Of Mudd cover "War Pigs" by Sabbath,they had no right even touching any Sabbath they suck

Answer 7

I agree with Clint. I recently asked a similar question and cited FOB's Love will tear us apart as an example.

Not that it could ever ruin Joy Division's original, but it was still stupendously bad.

Answer 8

Guns N' Roses - Knockin' on Heaven's Door

I like the Dylan version just fine. But Axl Rose.....anything about Axl Rose bothers me, actually.

Answer 9

Limp Bizkit's cover of "Behind Blue Eyes".

Oh, and Garth Brooks' reworking of Aerosmith's song "Fever". *twitch*

Answer 10

Hillary Duff did a cover of the Who's My Generation and changed the lyrics! It was bad... really bad.

It didn't completely ruin the Who for me, but it bothers me.
