Britney Spears' cover of the Rolling Stones (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction was pretty horrific, don't forget.

Runner-up---Noted teabag Manfred Mann castrating Springsteen's "Blinded By The Light."

Winner: William Shattner butchering Bob Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man." Captain Kirk's rug is more credible. Truly, where no man has gone before.

The worst cover is The Cardigans doing Mr Crowley. I had an Ozzy fan literally throw the headphones off his head.

One of my favorites is Tom Jones and The Cardigans doing the Talking Head's Burning Down The House.

Another honorable mention is A Perfect Circle doing Ozzy's Diary of a Madman. They are singing it while playing the Cure's Love Song.

Hell she butchered a classic AC/DC tune but even better was Sheryl Crows cover of Sweet Child o' Mine on the Big Daddy soundtrack. God even Metallica did a great job with the Ramone's 53rd and 3rd. and Velvet Revolver doing Pink Floyds Money for the Italian Job soundtrack was great. Celine Dion should stay away from the hard rock and stick to her sappy romance and pop tunes.

The Best cover I've ever heard is the big medley by Dream Theater. Intense shit right there.

PLEASE spell whether correctly!!!!! Not weather or not!!!!! DUHHHHHHHHHHH

Manfried Mann did a FINE job on Bruce's Blinded by the Light.

The BEST cover I have ever heard is Dave Matthews' Time of the Season by the Zombies!

By Tony Lo @ Thursday, June 26, 2008 12:48 PM

How about Dave Matthews' All along the Watchtower? or Queensryche's Welcome to the Machine?

i gotta say i was on youtube and i found shakira doing a cover of back in black...pretty horific

but the best cover has got to be guns doing dylan's knocking on heaven's door, its simply amazing

Up there as worst cover has to be DMB version of All Along the Watchtower....way slow and sucks. Don't get me wrong, I like DMB.. just not that cover.

If you can find it...Julio Iglesias (compeletly butchered the spelling of his name) did a cover of the Doors, "Light my Fire"...holy crap horrible.

The Best Cover ever to me has to be Korn doing pink Flyodds Another Brick In the Wall.. And Alien Ant Farm Smooth Criminal..

As much as Celine covering Ac/Dc is just wrong. I still think Sheryl Crow's version of Sweet Child of Mine is right up there in the top 3 worse covers of all time. I work in a grocery store and hear it way too much!

By karl @ Sunday, June 29, 2008 4:49 PM

shinedown's version of simple man by lynyrd skynyrd absolutely sucks its overdone and its butchered

By doofus @ Tuesday, July 01, 2008 8:09 AM

worst cover song is easily greenday doing "working class hero."

By Cyndi @ Wednesday, September 10, 2008 9:29 PM

A buddy of mine once said that Korn's Another Brick in the Wall was better than the original.
I totally disagree, Brick in the Wall is not meant to be metal
