    Worst Cover songs -- List them here

    I am still trying to recover from Puff Daddy's (P Diddy now) cover of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir.


    Badly covering classic songs should carry an automatic sentence of CASTRATION.

    I'd have to say the ultimate worst cover song was done by Avril Lavigne. She did System Of A Down's Chop Suey. The song was recorded live, so I suppose that's part of the reason why it was so bad, HOWEVER, it's just horrid. Here's a link to where you can hear it. Be careful, your ears may bleed, ha ha ha.

    (it says right click to save, but I actually streamed it)

    WOOOOPS, I just realized that the link kicks ya right to their mainpage. If you just go to that link then search for Avril Chop Suey, you'll get to it.

      Kinda like "Come with me" but in no way as good as the original, but then again he only used the melody, did not really cover the song.... and I will give him his props on actually having Jimmy play it.


      Brittney Spears is the queen of cover killing, first I love rock n roll and now my parogative

      Jessica Simpson's Take my breath away is also a sad attempt, she can not even hold the notes to the duration of the original singer.

            Sheryl Crow - 'Sweet Child O'Mine' Guns N Roses

              My buddy Larry and I do a really horrendous cover of "911 is a Joke," in the style of an Irish folk trio. But then, we are trying to be bad.

                                Being played alot in the UK atm especially on the dance / soul radio stations is a quite appalling version of George Michael`s Careless Whisper performed by a reggae artist.

                                Absolute rubbish and the crazy thing is that it will probably do quite well when it`s released.

                                  Snoop Dogg doing a version of Metallica's "Sad But True" was laughably bad.

                                    You beat me to the Britney Spears covers. It was painful to hear HER singing I love rock n roll. Just the thought of it sends shivers up my spine.

                                      That's typical of P Diddy - he takes songs and makes them worse...

                                        I like that one, it was off their $3 bill album (the only decent one they have). "Behind Blue Eyes" was a disgrace and Fred Durst should indeed be shot in the face for that one.

                                                Van Halen had a couple of stinkers: You're No Good and Dancing in the Streets. Granted, they did pretty good versions of You Really Got Me and Orbison's Pretty Woman.

                                                  I lost so much respect for Korn when I heard that cover. They also put it on their new "Greatest Hits" cd.
