Best/Worst Cover Songs
 

while I appreciate the idea that we should all share our grooming habits and preferences :rolleyes: Kevin and I were having another conversation...best and worst cover song performances...

worst IMO...Madonna doing 'American Pie'
Favorite IMO...Blues Traveler doing 'No Woman No Cry' or U2 'Everlasting Love'
Hilarious IMO...kenny chesney, garth brooks and tim mcgraw doing Snoop's 'Gin and Juice'

worst....by far:p

best IMO...Shinedowns "Simple Man"...acoustic version

I have to add Johnny Cash covering Nine inchs Nails' Hurt...the video made me cry...

a bad one I have to add....

Sheryl Crow "Sweet Child o Mine"

good...

Guns N Roses "Knockin on Heavens Door"

whitney...I will always love you...
pre-crack that woman could SING...these days Dolly's got her song back.

slow down everyone...ya'll dont all jump in at once now....:rolleyes:

:D :D

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....


Metallica "Turn the Page":cool:

at least you and I thought it was a good idea kid....

just glad to see someone else chime in...other wise Pais and I could have just resumed this conversation in Private Message:D

That was my first thought before I clicked on the thread. Best, I'll go with Guns N Roses covering "Live and Let Die". Different from the original in a good way. Just about any Nirvana cover from the Unplugged show would be up there too. Loved their covers of the Meat Puppets and David Bowie.

love STP's "Break on Through"

I knew if we built it they might come....:p not much else going on on sunday night (says the girl who doesn't watch football:o )

theres football on???:eek:

Hey Bethani...how about Mary J's version of your beloved U2's ONE??:eek:

she's fabulous...at least in the version that they play as a duet...
U2 also did a good version of all along the watchtower...however no one does it better than Hendrix who stole it first.

I like that version better than the Stones...

How about Aretha and "Respect"??

always loved that womans voice.

the Indigo Girls version of Dire Straits 'Romeo and Juliet'

Bethani and the little fuzzy one have gone to bed...I was informed to add Chili Peppers "Higher Ground" to the list of good covers.

Good covers: (Didn't we do this topic recently?)

The Sundays...Wild Horses
G & R...Knocking on Heaven's Door
Byrds...Tamborine Man
Peter, Paul and Mary...Blowin' In The Wind
Jimi Hendrix...All Along The Watchtower

Worst...any number of metal songs done by Pat Boone (leather jacket and all)!

The "live" version...very good !!! :)

All I'm askin is for y'all to watch 20 seconds of the clip...

Worst Cover-
I love the Fuggees, but I hated when they did the cover of Bob Marley's "No Woman, no Cry"

Thanks Pete, I didn't know Grizzly Adams was still alive:D

Whatever that group was that re-made Michael Jacksons "Smooth Criminal." Now that was awful.

The Beatles' cover of "Twist and Shout!"

I also like Sonic Youth's cover of "Superstar."

I like the IGs' cover of "Romeo and Juliet," too, Bethani.

Worst-- for me, Clay Aiken's rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." Dude, did anyone ever tell this kid what a "build" 'is?

I think Sheryl Crow's cover sucked, too, but I'm glad she did it because it shows up on karaoke machines and I can sing her version. Because, of course, it's all about me. :)
