Songs covered that you thought WTF?
 

Definately goes to Pippy Dido butchering Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. What's worst is that Jimmy Page went along with it.

Tori Amos did a cover album last year, Strange Little Girls. I liked most of the songs, but a couple sucked and I LOVE her. I was really disappointed :(. In particular, her cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence". It was just awful! I adore her AND Depeche Mode and she did a horrific job...BAD TORI!

Madonna's version of American Pie. Yuck!!

Landslide.

Smashing Pumpkins version is slightly bearable, but I really dislike the Dixie Chicks version. And I like BOTH Smashing Pumpkins AND Dixie Chicks. I just kinda feel like it's one of those songs nobody should mess with.

Save Ferris - "Come On Eileen"

at least i think that was the name of the band

that techno-dance version of Bryan Adams' "We're in Heaven" (I think that's the name anyway) I DESPISE techno-dance versions of already good songs.
On a similar note: I hate when slow/pretty songs get "funked up" for the dance scene (Coldplay's "Clocks" or Enya's "Only Time")

The crosby, stills & nash ripoff 'he got game'.

Celine Dion "I Drove All Night"

Marilyn Manson doing "Sweet Dreams". Scary:eek:

Re: Songs covered that you thought WTF?
 

you forgot to mention Tom Morello of AudioSlave/Rage Against The Machine as well. He was also in on the P.Diddy song.

I feel the exact same way...and what drives me even crazier is people saying "Have you heard that new Dixie Chicks song 'Landslide'?" It's not new people, it's an old song!

Re: Songs covered that you thought WTF?
 

I second that.

To see Jimmy Page playing guitar for him....wow, but not a good wow.

Totally in agreement here! If you are going to cover something, make sure it's as good as, or better than, the original.

I don't like those covers that Atomic Kitten does...I think one is "Eternal Flame," a song which I never liked in the first place but like even less now that it's been redone.

Beyonce doing In Da Club.

a) the original hasn't even been OUT long enough for it to be deemed 'cover worthy', you know?
b) she is TERRIBLE.

The radio station here has started mixing 50 Cent's with Beyonce's and it drives me INSANE because Beyonce's is absolutely horrendous.
