Name a song that you love and the "cover" of it drives you up a wall?

One thing that annoys me about artists today is how many songs they cover..it is so irritating...sometimes it is ok and surprasses the original version but in most cases it is just irritating that they don't come up with their own songs...

I love the song "It's my life" by Talk Talk and when I hear Gwen Stefani sing it I just can't take it. confused

Ginuwine´s version of When Doves Cry drives me mad ! When Doves Cry should never , ever be covered, not even by Prince himself. That original version is the closest thing to the most perfect song, IMO.

Patti Labelle's If You Ask Me To is beauty while Celine Dion's is crap.

Cyndi Lauper & Roy Orbison's versions of I Drove All Night are great and then there is Celine Dion's craptastic version.

Sixpence None The Richer's cover of "Don't Dream It's Over" makes me violently angry, as does Shawn Colver's remake of "Every Little Thing He Does is Magic"
