Awful Cover Songs

[Psycho Circus]

I'm a Dark Angel fan, but this was a teribble, unholy mistake of inconceivable proportions!

I love Arch Enemy, but.....

I like CoB's version and Maiden's version better

This isn't the worst cover ever, it's the worst THING ever:

Someone mentioned Disturbed's cover of "Land of Confusion" and I have to second that; first time I heard it I was like, "congratulations, Disturbed, you managed to make Phil Collins sound like a total badass by comparison"
A few more that get under my skin:
Joss Stone - "Don't Fear the Reaper" (zzzzzzzzz)
The Ataris - "The Boys of Summer" (again, trying to make a pop song edgy making the original seem 1000 times edgier)
311 - "Love Song" (yes, THE CURE's "Love Song")
HIM - "Wicked Game" - not the worst cover ever, but easily the most unneccessary
Does anybody remember the Metallica tribute concert that ran on MTV some years back?  That was epic: Avril Lavigne covering "Fuel", Korn covering "One", Snoop Dogg covering "Sad But True" .... there are no words.

Sheryl Crow's awful version of Sweet Child Of Mine

Anybody who covers The Smiths song How Soon Is Now.

There are some I do like e.g:

L7's version of the Guns N Roses song I Used To Love Her ant there is a band in the u.k called Selfish C**t and they do a brilliant version of My Prerogative.

"I Love Rock and Roll" by Britney Spears

Worst cover ever. Britney Spears does NOT love rock n' roll. It's a big fat LIE!
