Who raped Simple Man by Lynard?

[edro]

I just heard it on the radio... and it is HORRIBLE.

Just let it go... it is a great song, but Van Zant is the only person who can sing that.

I think i've heard the song you're talking about, however I don't remember my reaction.

shine down

it isn't that bad

well, it wasn't the first couple dozen times they played it on the radio

the original is obviously superior, but i have to change to the "classic" rock station for that one 😉

is it as bad as the remake of "take my breath away" by Jessica Simpson?

or as bad as whoever covered "another brick in the wall" a few years ago? i dont listen to any pop radio so i havent heard this

It can't be any worse than The Fugees' cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" or Ginuwine's cover of "When Doves Cry"...

can't be as bad as the cover of the smashing pumpkins' "zero" by evanescence. amy lee butchers it. I don't care if you don't think it's a classic. It's from 1995, old enough, and a damn good song to boot.

Korn just covered Another Brick in the Wall at the last concert I went to (3 weeks ago). It is goign to be on their greatest hits album, so I hear.

I really liked it, mainly because I love Korn. 😀

Not all covers are bad... but the Simple Man one is horrible.

I heard a cover of Nutshell on the radio too.. only Layne Staley can sing that. Nothing is worse than Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes, however.

Why, oh why must musicians remake older (and sometimes good, as in this case) songs??? Its never done right.

Someone covered The Who recently. Who was it and what song? I can't remember, but it was awful.

Wait, it was Behind Blue Eyes and I think Limp dick Bizket ruined it.
