Let us Marvel at bad covers of good songs.

didn't papa roach cover lithium?

SYRFox · 07.01.2008, 02:02 PM

Placebo covering Where is My Mind.
Maybe the worst cover ever

Lily Allen covered my favorite ELO song ever - Mr Blue Sky... and it made me wanna kill myself.

I'm a massive Tori Amos fan, but her cover of Heart Of Gold was an abortion

Oh my god, that was fucking horrible. I feel like digging out my eardrums with a scalpel now.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.01.2008, 02:09 PM

This is just fucking hilarious. Some guy doing Aerosmith

The Delgados did a cover that was very nearly better than the ELO version. Not on youtube, sadly.

acousticrock87 · 07.01.2008, 02:15 PM

The Aerosmith thing actually made me sad. Poor guy. I hope the breakup isn't too hard on him.

Tokolosh · 07.01.2008, 02:34 PM

By making himself look like the total idiot for the world to see, won't make her come back. Atrocious.

atsonicpark · 07.01.2008, 03:04 PM

that fly leaf cover is embarassing in every way imaginable.

Brilliant. Moreso because he's clearly as sweet as a sugar factory.

hahaha

Flyleaf are a funny joke.

No one told them that nu-metal died 5 years ago.

Rob Instigator · 07.01.2008, 04:19 PM

i don;t know, the fly leaf cover is not so shitty as her tortured emoting.

it still sucks though

Derek · 07.01.2008, 04:23 PM

Haven't people realised that directly covering Smells Like Teen Spirit is an automatic fail?

I mean, Patti Smith's version is great because she completely changed the sound of the sound. Flyleaf are just covering it precisely, distorted electric guitars and all.

Crumb's Crunchy Delights · 07.01.2008, 05:01 PM

aerosmith covered that beastie boys song and it was sh*t

terriblecanyons · 07.01.2008, 05:03 PM

Best cover ever.

Really, a good cover of a horrible song.
