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'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.
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

same here
have you heard her version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
I don't even care for the regular version of that song, but her version made me want to smack her around a couple times...

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.

That's my second favorite kate Bush song (behind "The Love and The Anger"), I'll have to check it out
for cheesy covers, I'ma sucker for the big band/metal album Pat Boone did, especially his version of "Holy Diver"

I love kate...she is like what Tori pretends to be. Plus, her dad used to be my hubby's dentist when he was a kid and Kate briefly went to his school. Apparently she wouldn't put out.
