I beloeve Shakira’s cover of AC/DC and also of ”Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters” give a different taste to the songs. Back In Black because her voice is not so crazy like the lead singer of the band and that makes me personally wanna listen to it. As for her latest tour and the reindition of Nothing Else Matters I have to say a big ”BRAVO” because she has reinvented the song with a taste of far east instruments which makes the song great. Don’t be too serious when someone covers a song it’s not yours after all

Limp Bizkit butchers everything. Their cover of Sanitarium at Mtv Icon for Metallica made me want to gouge my brain out for the atrocities the cover did to the song.

Don’t forget Hilary Duff’s cover of the Who’s “My Generation.” She sings “I hope I *don’t* die before I get old.” Guuuuhhhh I hope I die before I hear that cover again. D:

Completely disagree on the Scissor Sisters cover: while the song may be in a completely different style, that doesn’t make it bad. In fact it was the song that got the Scissor Sisters in the spotlight: it was a popular club song which led to people finding out about the band. Also, obscurity (as based on the percentages you presented) proves nothing as far as quality. There are factions on both sides that say that if they’ve never heard of it it must not be good, or conversely if everyone has heard it then it isn’t good. “Hurt” cover by Johnny Cash, 9 million hits on YouTube. Britney Spears “Baby One More Time?” 26 million. Which song do you think is better?

Avril Lavigne’s cover of Chop Suey is unforgivable. It honestly makes alot of these seem like minor imperfections compared to that song. She doesn’t even get the lyrics right, honestly. Just search it on on Youtube.

A fine collection of the worst songs, I agree with you on most of them.

The Shakira cover of Back in Black is desperately horrible, but I actually *liked* the jazzing of the intro chord sequence. I’d better get my coat, I think I’m probably going to be asked to leave by the taste police!
