    Worst Cover Songs

    This thread was prompted by a rather animated discussion I had with a Scott Stapp fan, so I'll start with "Eighteen" by Greed. It fucking SUCKS! Scotty has his tongue so far up in the roof of his mouth doing his Eddie Vedder imitation that he can barely even sing the fucking title!

    Not a cover, but using Vanilla Ice using Under Pressure was criminal.

    Gene Simmons signing When You WIsh Upon A Star was awful.

                Heres another example of god-awfulness, A Bunch of Rappers Covering Aerosmith Songs. Guitar work is auctually half-decent, But the rappers suck.

                        Be fair now - half their stuff are bad Radiohead covers!

                          Anyone remember Ugly Kid Joes Cats & The Cradle?
                          How about Lennys American Woman
                          Madonnas American Pie
                          The Stones' Like A Rolling Stone
                          The Cure's dance version of Purple Haze
                          Bowie & Jagger's Dancin' In The Streets
                          Mary J. Blige's new version of One is bad
                          Any of the Uncle Cracker covers suck
                          Bon Jovi's Boys Are Back In Town
                          Everclears Boys Are Back In Town & Brown Eyed Girl - great band but they did crap covers


                          I would give an honorable mention to Prince's attempt to re-claim Nothing Compares 2 U. His version was god awful

                            One that I like but others really HATED was WASP covering the Who's The Real Me.

                            One WASP cover that does suck is Paint it Black

                            Oh...and I hated the GnR Sympathy for the Devil.
                            Stay Frosty, muthas!
