Dixie Chicks - Landslide  ticks me off, and ppl actually like her bumpkin vocal styley. I prefer Smashing Pumpkins' cover.
Madonna - American Pie  Just wrong.
Puff Daddy - Kashmir (Come With Me) 
Jessica Simpson - Take My Breath Away 
Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi 
Britney Spears - I Love Rock N Roll (she covered this song because she "loves Pat Benetar" which says it all) | |

Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Conner 
Her singin' just hurts my ears! | |

Whatever HrdwcH. It's the best version of it! The chord changes on Prince associated versions are way more static. | |

Her singin' just hurts my ears! Um I think this falls in the category of "better than the original" my pic for worst: -ladies night - Atomic pussy! - they killed a classic with a skillet! | |

She should be blindfolded and put up against a white wall for this one. WHAT IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW? THERE WASN'T ONE TODAY! | |

I'm having a hard time getting into A Perfect Circle's cover of "Imagine".
Maybe it'll grow on me or something.  | |

Madonna - Imagine
Neil Young - Imagine David Bowie - Imagine Oasis - Heroes There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

If there was ever a time appropriate for hatin' on those "TRIBUTE TO" compilations, now would be it. | |

This thread has been done before (I'm sure many times) and I will tell you the same thing I said before..... LaToya Jackson's version of Private Joy is the worst cover of a Prince song EVER!!! IMO LOL | |

I bought that 'Party Of The Times' Prince tribute for 99ยข thinking there had to be at least one decent cover on it. The Dead Or Alive remake of "Pop Life" didn't make me wretch. All the others were the worst Prince covers I had ever heard. | |

Most covers suck and why are people mining the lame pop songs for the 70's? The shit wasn't good then, why would someone redo it to sound just like it did then? The exception is when the artist makes it their own. I'm thinking of Lisa Bonet singing that shit Peter Frampton tune in the movie "Hifidelity" | |

"Georgy Porgy"/Eric Benet (originally Toto)
The one song Toto does that I don't think can be improved. In Benet's hands it sounds like a "product." ` [Edited 10/29/04 10:03am] This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
