Has to be Shocker In Gloomtown by The Breeders - originally by Guided By Voices.
Any GBV fans heard it / agree? They just take all the life out of what is a totally raw punk rock song song. I love Kim Deal but she made a bit of a boo boo with this one.
but Bob's solo cover of Invisible Man by The Breeders is one of my favourite things ever and I've got a bootleg of Kim Deal singing backing vocals on Goldheart, which absolutely rules, so I'll let them off if it's awful.
Lenny Kravitz doing "American Woman"
The Cure doing "Foxy Lady"
Dealership doing "Anarchy in the UK"
Matt Pond PA doing "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
The Secret Machines doing "Money" (have they heard the original song?)
Any rock song Celine Dion has covered
its one thing to do a cover of such a good song
its another to play it exactly the same as the original, but not as good, with irritating fauxpalumbo vocals.
its another altogether to decide that this is worth putting as the first song on your myspace.
it was kindof a joke cover, just them messing around in the studio. at the time i don't think it was ever intended to be released, i mean doesn't gibbard get a lot of the words wrong?
"HAVE NO DOUBT IN YOUR MIND. WHEN IT HITS, IT WILL HIT HARD AND WILL BE RADDER THAN JESUS COMING BACK TO PROVE THAT HE DID ACTUALLY EXSIST IN THE FIRST PLACE."
of On a Rope, I put Scream, Dracula, Scream! on full blast to lcear my head of the horror I had just heard. I think its possibly worse than Crazy Town's appauling cover on New Noise.
what they did to Cry Me A River
was disgraceful.
:o
i want Speedo
to smite them for what they have done.
what the fuck
are they doing on the front of that magazine. ARGH!!!
can't be as bad
as We Are Scientists covering 'be my baby'...
the worst credible band cover ever

That 10 inch
record is so good. It's on that isn't it? Never heard the original to be fair but I remember liking it actually.
I've never heard it

not
heard We are scientists covering Sigur Ros.
Yeah, you read that right.
strangest cover choice ever.
DURRR
*not as bad as...

louise doing stuck in the middle with you was pretty bad she deserved tortute for that...
postal service doing phil collins
unforgiveable. see also:
jamie cullum doing radiohead
REM doing that wimoweh song, the jungle one
chumbawumba doing Ice T's 'girls lets get buck naked and fuck'
I made that last one up..
These stick out.
Lenny Kravitz doing "American Woman"
The Cure doing "Foxy Lady"
Dealership doing "Anarchy in the UK"
Matt Pond PA doing "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
The Secret Machines doing "Money" (have they heard the original song?)

that is so far beyond pointless

Guys, this should come with a warning. If you make it past the yodelling bit, then well done..... however, you will probably be scarred for life.
anything
by those f8cking nonces G4..
Deathcab For Cutie....
Did 'This Charming Man'
I really wish they didn't.... it's horrible......
and I like their stuff, generally, 'The Sound Of Settling' is a great song!
well
it was kindof a joke cover, just them messing around in the studio. at the time i don't think it was ever intended to be released, i mean doesn't gibbard get a lot of the words wrong?
Don't know....
Couldn;t get past the first verse.....
It may have supposed to have been a joke cover, but it still sounds bad
and it may not have been intened for release, but it's still on 'You Can Play These Songs With Chords'
Although I solved the problem quite easily by deleting that track off my mp3 player.........
Didn't
Sheryl Crowe cover 'Sweet Child Of Mine'? Or is that just a vision from hell that visited me in a sweaty flu-ridden cheese nightmare?
Now, the BEST cover ever was Vic Reeves doing 'Vienna'...
I'd like to hear
that
Vic Reeves, not THe Crow
Yuck
Yeah that Sheryl Crow cover is pretty horrible. I'm surprised that G 'N' R cleared that.
well
one of the bonus tracks on the CD reissue.
it was recorded about four years before that came out..
I liked that cover!
Fall out boy is thee worst one.
SO they're responsible for this aswell...

Fall Out Boy - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Has to be.
has anyone heard
Radiohead's version of Wonderwall? It lasts like a minute. That was pretty funny. But not bad.
after listening to their 'version'
of On a Rope, I put Scream, Dracula, Scream! on full blast to lcear my head of the horror I had just heard. I think its possibly worse than Crazy Town's appauling cover on New Noise.

Panic At The Disco
...covered Karma Police last week at a live show. Enough said.
