KW84 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 U2's attempt at "All Along the Watchtower". Ugh.Let me guess, the only version you have heard is from Rattle and Hum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day of Light Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm intrigued that nobody mentioned Kanye's rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODIo-ckoprY In his case, I don't think it was supposed to be an honest cover, but still, it fits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The worst cover song that includes are member of the original band. The "Down by the Seaside" cover by Robert Plant and Tori Amos on the Led Zeppelin Encomium tribute.  To me, it's not a cover song if you just re-use the lyrics. There needs to be some essence of the original song retained in the cover version. 99,999999% of Encomium is worth a mention in this thread! Stone Temple Pilots version of "Dancing Days" makes that album worth the price of admission. There are a few real clunkers on that tribute though. Like Sheryl Crow's awful remake of D'yer Mak'er. And, yes, STP does a great cover. They even do a good cover of Andy Warhol by Bowie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Not totally awful, just an odd choice of cover for a metal band:Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBe5JIl4KR8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super25Smasher Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 I really dislike Sheryl Crows cover of sweet child o mine ... She sings it well but she brings nothing new to the song ... Basically it sounds like a really good karaoke singer doing itJust heard this again in Big Daddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I love Wayne's World, but Tia Carrere's covers of Fire and Ballroom Blitz are dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Sweet's New York Groove. They messed it up by putting that shitty Empire State of Mind song in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tia Carrere's cover is worse :finbar: . I just don't like the feel of it. The original is so quirky, which makes it amazing. Krokus turned it into a mid 80s glam metal tune, which just didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Not a band, so not sure if this one below counts. Michael jackson never sounded so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
