Best/worst song remake

[thirdeye]

I'd have to say the worst would be a tie between Korn's "Another Brick In the Wall" and Snoop Dogg's "Riders on the Storm"

Best probably "Message in a Bottle" - Machinehead

 

[ethebubbeth]

The worst ever:

Britney Spears - Satisfaction (I Can't Get No)

i bet she made Mick and the Boys Cry, then the royalty check made it all better

 

[thirdeye]

Oh man, I'm happy I've never heard that.

Tori Amos- Smells Like Teen Spirit
You can't mess with a classic song like that. I bet Kurt Cobain is turning in his grave every time he hears that.

 

[Nohr]

I'd have to agree with your Korn and Snoop Dogg choices. They both suck, hard.

Best I'd say A Perfect Circle - Imagine

 

[meltdown75]

WORST EVER

Madonna - American Pie :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

 

[Mermaidman]

NonPoint's "In the Air Tonight" is an excellent remake.

Nirvana sucks. Any remake is better than the original.

Worst remake...P.Diddy - Every Breath You Take.

 

[thirdeye]

Yeah the APC remake is a very close second in my opinion.

I'd have to sayone of the worst would have to be Shinedown's rendition of "Simple Man"

and I think Korn's "Another Brick in the Wall" is one of the best covers around...
and Tori Amos - "Enjoy the Silence"
Me First and the Gimme Gimme's - Somewhere over the Rainbow

edit: Oh yeah, Madonna's remake of American Pie was Putrid

 

[Ranger X]

Frankie J's "More Than Words" isn't all that great. It's just a more upbeat version of the original song.

Good call.

Worst - Korn's abhorrent, loathsome version of "Another Brick in the Wall"
Best - Cake's "I Will Survive"

:thumbsup:

Their version of "My Boyfriend's Back" is hilarious! ("My boyfriend's bLaaaaack . . . ")

 

[Kadarin]

Jessica Simpson's rendition of "These Boots Were Made for Walking" was pretty awful. Come to think of it, her version of Berlin's classic "Take My Breath Away" is awful too.

In fact, she should just not sing.

Just not a fan. They're way overrated. Their songs just weren't that great. Dave is much better off with Foo Fighters.

 

[b0mbrman]

Elvis - Hound Dog (originally by Big Mama Thornton) and Portrait - How Deep is your Love (originally by the Bee Gees) are my two favorites.

 

[meltdown75]

hmm i liked that Shinedown remake of Simple Man. nice range of emotion in his voice and done acoustically it had a much darker feel than the original.

 

[yllus]

Worst: Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

 

[Nohr]

Another good one: No Doubt - Come On Eileen

Except then I wouldn't stick around, DA.

I answered the question if you'd bother to read the thread.
