I heard Alanis Morrisette covering "King of Pain" on the radio and until I finally lost my patience and changed it I was the king of pain in my ears at least.

So, any others spring to mind?

Avril Lavigine - “Oh Holy Night”. Oh holy crap is more like it. Bowling For Soup - “Hit Me Baby One More Time”. Travis’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time” is quite preferable. Michael McDonald's "Ain't No Mountain" ain't nearly as good as Tammy Terrell and Marvin Gaye's.

I still cringe for about two seconds every time Lenny Kravitz's train wreck of "American Woman" comes on the radio. Two seconds is about how long it takes me to change the station.

(BTW, I love most of Kravitz's other stuff.)

Hmm. A few come to mind...

Ike & Tina turner -- PROUD MARY (C.C.R.)
Ike & Tina turner -- GET BACK (The Beatles)
Pat Boone -- LONG TALL SALLY (Little Richard)
(?? who was it?) -- RHYTHM OF THE RAIN (The Cascades)

That hard rock, nine-inch-nails sounding cover of "Imagine" that's playing now (I don't remember who did it).

Smashmouth's cover of "I'm a Believer" - I'm not that crazy about the song to begin with, but their version annoys me.

most of the songs on the Bridget Jones two soundtrack. Why didn't they just use the originals and be done with it, I mean Jamie Cullen doing Everlasting Love? wrong, it's just wrong I tell you!


Legion Worlds NINE - wait, there's even more ongoing amazing adventures? Yup, and you'll only find them in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.

That would be Maynard James Keenan and A Perfect Circle. I actually have started to like this version of it. Wasn't my favorite the first time I heard it though.

I didn't mind that one, because that song fits in with the sort of thing that they do.

But their version of Steely Dan's "Do It Again" was really weak.

Someone is doing a techno/dance version of En Vogue's "Don't Let Go." The vocals aren't better and the music is souless.

More bad covers... anybody that has ever re-made a Beatle's tune. For example... Tiffany and "I Saw Him Standing There" or Joe Cocker's version of "She Came in Through The Bathroom Window". Well let's face it... anything by Joe Cocker is fairly worthless. He sings with a lot of emotion, but that is one rough voice. Don't get me started on Tiffany... she didn't even have the range for the song. She should have just stuck to singing along with it while driving or in the shower or something. Ugh!

VIDEO! VIDEO! drool

And Joe Cocker's gospel-tinged "Get By W/ A Little Help..." was great. Made up for having to watch Fred Savage go through puberty... that and "Winnie"... drool drool

Shinedown (i like them, except for this) has a simply DREADFUL cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic "Simple Man".

Minesurfer, I haven't heard the Tiffany Beatles cover - thankfully!! Cocker certainly has the gravelly voice of all time (although Tom Waitts might give him a run for his money), but I kind of liked the uniqeness of it. There's something that's still refreshing about it - especially in this segment of rock history where seemingly every single female feels the need to channel Whitney and Mariah, and every pop male sings like - well, whoever the male equvilent would be...I can't bear to listen to any of it!

Sure, American Idol is a collection of technically proficient but boringly repetitive clones, but the show is just representing the dearth of truly unique voices in the pop/rock arena. Give me someone who can't trill pointlessly up and down every octave on every line of a song - maybe they'd be forced to actually read the lyrics and sing them like they cared! smile

Brainy, if this isn't some fevered nightmare of a joke, you've GOT to tell me where to find Celine Dion doing AC/DC! That could be the most hilarious recording since Shatner's "Lucy In The Sky (With Diamonds"! I must have it! smile

Marilyn Manson's "Sweet Dreams"

Any, and i do mean any, whiteboy trying to cover any motown stuff.

Normally, yeah. But there have been the RARE exceptions.

Like, The Rolling Stones' versions of "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" or "Just My Imagination".

But then, they started out doing almost nothing but covers of black artists' songs, anyway...
