worst and best cover songs?

Started by Funkadelic8 pages

Best cover song ever is : Walk On By - Isaac Hayes

Worst:
System Of A Down - "Snowblind"

They should be f*cking crucified for ruining this classic song.

I'd crucify System of a Down for less than that...

I really really really enjoy Disintegration (The Cure) by Decadence 🤘

Worst
Anything done by Avril
That one Christmas song done by Ozzy with Jessica Simpson

Best
Hurt by Johnny Cash
Surrender by Zebrahead
Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit

Can't think of any worst...oh wait, Angels by Jessica Simpson.

Tarja Turunen did a good version of Alice Cooper's Poison, and Within Temptation did a good job of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill.

One by Korn has got to be the very worst cover I've ever heard. They didn't even do the guitar solo FFS.

Metallica's cover of Bob Seiger's Turn the Page was Frikin awesome, there are also alot of other great covers on that album.

Best:

Orgy ~ Blue Monday
Marilyn Manson ~ Tainted Love, Personal Jesus
Limp Bizkit ~ Behind Blue Eyes
Johnny Cash ~ Hurt
Disturbed ~ Land of Confusion
Boys Like Girls ~ Let Go
A Static Lullaby ~ Let Go (same song from BLG and Frou Frou)

Worst:

Avril Lavigne ~ Chop Suey!, Knockin on Heavens Door
Evanescence ~ Thoughtless
Britney Spears ~ I Love Rock N Roll
Madonna ~ American Pie
50 Cent ~ Right Round (not really a cover, but it sucked compared to the original)

I just listened to this, and i think she should be punched in the face for doing that.

I really like After Forever's cover of Evil That Men Do by Iron Maiden, and Iron Maiden's cover of Cross-Eyed Mary. I'm also torn between whether or not I think Therion's cover of Summer Night City by Abba is funny or awesome. Or both.

For worst covers, it's hard to not just say Tori Amos. But I'm going to do it anyway.

Dude, i keep having to revise my list here because people keep throwing out goods and bads but yeah...,that was atrocious 😘

Seether's careless Whisper was the best cover song I have heard.The worst was Shinedown's Simple Man.

AFI's live cover of "Just Like Heaven" (by the Cure), is probably one of the best covers I've heard.

Fozzy has a few decent ones, none exceptional, but several are better than the originals
