worst:

Avril Lavigne's two that were already mentioned
The Darkness - Bohemian Rhaposdy

best:

Dream Theater - Achille's Last Stand (Zep)
TooL - No Quarter (Zep)
Tori Amos - Smells like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
Ben Harper - Whole Lotta Love (Zep)

Probably a lot more that I can't think of right now. I hear Evanescense's new cover of Heart Shaped Box is pretty good.

Peace.

Micheal Metal: You can't stand Dylan? You're serious?

mini_angel: Will Young's Light My Fire was terrible. The original isn't very good, to be honest, but Young's version gave me a bad stomach.

Anyone heard the techno version of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb? Just brutal, just brutal.

[deethythitoth]

Agreed with Nabbe. Guns N' Roses version of Knocking on Heaven's door is horrible

Others include...

Best:

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
Metallica - Turn The Page
Metallica - So What
Disturbed - Fade To Black

Worst:

Snoop Dog - Sad But True *cringes*
Avril Lavigne - Fuel

those are the ones off the top of my head

[Suvuseh]

I don't really hate any covers.

New Found Glory have done quite a lot of good covers, especially their Titanic theme song cover, that was cool.
Oh and Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt by NIN was good too.
Also a cover of "the one that I want" the song from grease was covered by a band I believe was called Spoiler. It was really cool.

There's a whole bluegrass/folk album that's a tribute to Metallica....horrible stuff indeed.

Peace.

[Jxlacvio]

I don't know what the CD is officially called, and there are many other bad covers in this world- I just think it's amazing there is a cover CD that is 100% terrible covers.

It's a "hardcore" tribute to GnR

Now I'm not a GnR fan, but I know a good chunk of their songs as I grew up on them from my Mom and her friends. And I can listen to GnR and not want to scream. But my god this hardcore tribute CD was terrible, on some of the covers it sounded like they were about to actually make a good cover, but nope- they all found a way to make a huge pile of shit.

[Bill-Watson]

Best:
AAF- Smooth Criminal: I love this version but didn't like Michael Jacksons much

Limp Bizkit- Behind Blue Eyes

The Ataris- Boys Of Summer

Worst:
Whoever it was that covered "With A Little Help From My Friends" recently, I think the Joe Cocker song ruled but this Pop version is painful

Will Young- Hey Ya: I wasn't keen on the original but when i heard Will Young do it on some radio show i cringed

I'm sure there must be others i like and hate but i can't think of them right now...

[Thifiadardivy]

i also just remembered about "The Blackest Album" which is Metallica's black album redone with techno beats. after listening to it, i had a sudden urge to kill the people who put out that atrocity

[Enjknsua]

Muse -feeling good

[plantBanceper]

Worst:
Guns N' Roses - Knocking On Heaven's Door

When I first heard it, I almost fucking cried. Fuck GNR for destroying a classic... Man, I hate them for it.

GNR- Knocking on Heavens Door (good song but I cant stand Bob Dylan) You HAVE to be kidding. Tori Amo has 10 times the vocal talent that Kurt Cobain has. Not to mention she's just more musically gifted as well.

Well it's your opinion...but you're still nuts lol 8P.

Peace.
