Just about anybody's cover of music by The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan or Jimmy Hendrix.

With the exception of Devo. Rather than trying to capture/recreate the energy & style of the original, they're able to completely deconstruct a song into something that sounds completely their own, without making the song sound mutilated.

I think I'll have to recant on Devo.
This afternoon, someone reminded me about their cover of Head Like a Hole.
Too close to the original, & just not Devo-ey enough.

"Fell in Love with a Boy" by Joss Stone.  I'm a huge White Stripes fan and I HATE this cover.  Not only did they change the lyrics and the name of the song but they also turned a great punk rock tune into a hippie-dippy pop song.

However, the Richard Cheese version is funny.

I was none too happy with Orgy cloning New Order's Blue Monday. It really aggravates me when a band gets popular (i.e. makes a lot of money) from digging up an old song and carbon copying it. Especially when it's a band with a cult following because people like us are supposed to give the said offenders credit for knowing who they were (well, are in this case). It's the same thing with Alien Ant Farm. They get wicked big with a cover song. Their original material really sucked hard, too. I remember being at the Warped Tour one year, and I had just run into an old friend of mine. We were talking in front of the bike ramp (which was next to a B stage) and our conversation kept going back to, "Who the hell is that god-awful band over on that stage?" Sure enough, they went into the opening riff of Smooth Criminal. Dean and I peaked around the ramps and saw that moron with his stupid hair cut, and just laughed. I actually really like what Amy Winehouse does. See doesn't exactly covers songs, but puts her own twist on her favorites. Call it a guilty pleasure.

I'm one of the oddballs who actually enjoys a number of cover songs (Johnny Cash doing "Hurt" and Guns 'n' Roses covering "Sympathy for the Devil" especially), but I think the one that's bothered me most in recent memory was that f*ck awful cover Fred "Limp D!ckburger" Durst did for "Behind Blue Eyes" for the equally worthless movie Gothika. I thought someone had started sodomizing my ears with cotton swabs, only to realize that I was the one doing it to myself in an attempt to never ever have to hear this monstrocity again. Hatred

What really annoys me is he keeps repeating the chorus of the song and doesn't go into the other bit.

And what really annoyed me was the fact that Fred Durst was covering a Who song. Uggh.
