Best/worst song remake

[wanderica]

gotta go with Britney Spears' Satisfaction cover for the worst

best - Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the cradle

Disturbed's new cover of Genesis' land of confusion is pretty good too.

My fav: UB40 - Can't Help Falling in Love with You. Elvis can rest in his grave.

Played that one on guitar in high school

Sweet!, I think it's an absolutely beautiful version of the song.

OH NEW ONE-



BEST-

ORGY- BLUE MONDAY

or Korn's 'One'

WORST-

B. Spears- 'Satisfaction'

 

[lrad50]

and i would not consider 'another brick in the wall' to be up there in the worst because the original song sucked even harder.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Best: All Along the Watchtower - Hendrix. Honorable mention: Tuesday's Gone - Metallica
Worst: A punk cover by a band which isn't worth remembering of Big Shot by Billy Joel. Honorable mention: Chop Suey as performed by Avril.

 

[conehead433]

Worst Ever- William Shatner Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

WINNER!

 

[OVERKILL]

"listen to your heart" by Jessica Simpson, she ruined it

 

[Afro000Dude]

Adema did a pretty bad rendition of Alice In Chains' "Nutshell."

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Best cover EVER in my opinion was No Doubt - It's My Life
Worst is by far Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal, they took everything that was awesome about the Jacko version, the beat, the "OW!", and threw it out the window and replaced it with annoying punk.

But.. it sounds *exactly* like the original.

 

[Kadarin]

Worst: The entire Pat Boone "In a Metal Mood" album.

 

[st0nefry]

I really like Video Killed the Radio Star by the presidents of the US, but that is probably because it sounds exactly like the orig. and I really like the orig.

Top three, in no particular order:

Korn - Another Brick in the Wall
Puff Daddy - Every Breath You Take
Madonna - American Pie (this is the worst)

Whomever said Tori Amos' "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is one of the worst covers of all time, I guarantee you two things:

1 - That is a VERY good remake by ANYONE's standards. What more could you want from a cover? She did a great song in HER OWN WAY (hint Madonna, just doing the song the same way it was done before is a waste of your time and ours), and added something to it. When you hear Nirvana's version and her version, you're left with two VERY distinct feelings.

2 - I'm a HUGE Nirvana fan, and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what Kurt Cobain was like. He wasn't too proud to accept compliments, he just usually thought he didn't deserve them. I can tell you with 100% certainty that he wouldn't have had a problem with that song. A little creepy, very vocal, etc. He also clearly doesn't have a problem with covers since he did Meat Puppets covers for "Unplugged."

 

[CptObvious]

Best (off the top of my head):

Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends (Beatles)
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
The Sundays - Wild Horses (Rolling Stones)
R.E.M. - One (U2)
Radiohead - Union City Blue (Blondie)

Ehhhh... First off, "It's My Life" was a pretty good remake, so I'll give you that. But the "Smooth Criminal" remake was alright too. It was just a spoof, so you can't really look at it like they were doing homage to the original.
