Covers that make you cringe....
as Ibram said.....
Few things are radder than a great cover of a great song........ but then again there are those that made you wonder why they bothered. like The Doors version of Gloria Banarama's cover of Venus

Jessica Simpson's utter bastardisation of Robbie Williams' 'Angels' makes me want to scratch someone's eyes out (preferably hers)
Jay - I quite like Bananarama's Venus...but then....my taste might of sucked big time back then. |

Green Day doing We Are The Champions takes the cake for worst ever, I think.
Nirvana's Man Who Sold The World comes close. |

Ew, nobody is worthy of covering ABitWII. Gilmour is a god, and the only person worthy of playing guitar in that song. I doubt that any of the "anti-establishment" bands who cover that song to make an extra few bucks know anything about the song, or what it means.

Call me a fag, but I think Cyndi has a powerful voice. I heard her do True Colors live on Howard Stern's show one morning, and had NHO's for an hour.

mmmmm.....Shatners's covers fall into the 'they're so bad they're worth hearing' category.

***Threadkiller Alert***
I will mercifully euthanize this thread with the cringeworthy cover that cannot be topped. I'll further explain that DaughterofV actually thought this performer wrote this song. I don't know which hurt me more, her ignorance or my bleeding ears.
Click here AT YOUR PERIL to hear Britney Spears' desecration of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. Sacrilege.
