    Bad Cover Tunes

    311 doing The Cure's "Love Song".

    Awful.

    Anyone have some others to add to this list?

    omg, don't get me started! This is like my number one musical rant topic.

    Almost any cover of a cure song sucks. The cure have a style that is essential to their songs and pretty much no one but them can convey it.

    Anyhoo...the one that is pushing my 'this should be against the law' buttons most recently is Tatu's slaughtering of ' How Soon Is Now' by The Smiths.

          that stupid mix of U2 and Whitney Houston?


          really as a rule I hate every single dance mix that uses an 80's song. Also, if a song didn't have a rap in the first place leave it the fuck alone.

                That's another one that's pretty horrible too. Can't hate them that much for it though, they may suck...but someone had the good taste to pick a kickass song.

                  you think they had ever even heard the song before they put down the lyrics?

                  They didn't pick it and they took all passion out of it. Hell, I don't think they even understand the words.

                    They're just puppets. I was referring to the taste of whoever picked the tune

                      yeah, I see what you are saying. Sometimes when I hear stuff like that I pray that the artists have lost control of their music catalog so I can blame some jackass in a suit for selling the songs to the slaughter.

                        Should we blame Moz and Marr? They had give their thumbs up for something like that to take place

                            that is what I am talking about..I hold out hope that somwhere down the line they don't control who does what. That said, i understand the desire to cash in. It isn't the first cover of How Soon Is Now...Love Spit Love did a really good version actually that I think is the theme song for Charmed.

                              Was in that witch movie "The Craft" too. That was a good one.

                                This goes without saying. Anything Limp Bizkit does is garbage.

                                  Not sure...I know that Love Spit Love is the lead singer from psychedelic furs of (the spectacular) Pretty In Pink fame.

                                              oh so many

                                              Tori Amos cover of Slayer's "Raining Blood" made me want to stab myself in the ear with a pickaxe
                                              Sheryl Crow's cover of "Sweet Child O' Mine" was dreadful


                                              the best cover?
                                              Motley Crue's cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" or Ozzy's drunken rendition of "Staying Alive" with Dweezil Zappa on guitar
                                              Support my new movie “The Second Coming”

                                                            No, I saw the name on a playlist somewhere and almost lost my lunch. From there I have made a point of not hearing it.

                                                            There is something about Amos that drives me nuts. In my freshman dorm almost every one of the girls but me had a a 'count down to tori concert' calander on their doors and every night they would make a ritual of taking the number down. I wanted to kill them all.

                                                            Some covers are good though...Placebo just did a cover of 'Running up that hill' by Kate Bush and I love it.
