Cover versions that should never have been allowed...

[Blue in Munich]

Right, we've got the better than cover versions, how about the worse than cover versions.

I'll offer Whitney Houston's version of George Benson's The Greatest Love of All for starters...

 

[AmandaJR]

Any done by Mariah Carey.

Or Westlife!

 

[Blue in Munich]

Or Westlife!

Or Ronan Keating, should be locked up for his version of When You Say Nothing At All. As a public service...

 

[Imurg]

Apologies to Richart but Saxon's Ride like the Wind is just pure awful
Dave Lee Roth's California Girls should have got him life inside

 

[Beezerk]

Disturbed- Sound Of Silence
Florence And The Machine - You’ve Got The Love
😂

 

[richart]

Any cover version of Cold as Ice.

 

[Orikoru]

I remember when the Scissor Sisters tried to cover Comfortably Numb. God, I still shudder thinking about that. Christ.

Joss Stone's appalling butchering of Fell in Love With A Girl as well. Just awful.

That walk up to the 13th tee at Tandridge should be fun !

Anything and I mean anything sung by Missis T. She once got on the stage in the local miners welfare in a singing competition. The compare picked the song, hers was bright eyes from watership down. If I was a rabbit I would of chucked meself under a car.

 

[Reemul]

Stairway to Heaven - Rolf Harris

Posted this on the wrong thread 🙈😂😳

Anyone who has covered a Queen song. Stop it, you are nowhere near as good. Some guy from Keane has recently been slaughtering them in a radio 2 session. It's a crime 😱

 

[Wolf]

Miley Cyrus version of Nirvana's Smells like teen spirit.

Madonna American Pie

 

[Fromtherough]

All Saints' version of Under the Bridge has got to be up there.

I remember really liking Candyflip's version of Strawberry Fields Forever (retrospectively). Heard it the other day and it is brutal.

You’ll Never Walk Alone - Gerry and The Pacemakers, awful song, best left in Carousel.

 

[GG26]

Personal Jesus - Marilyn Manson

The Panic At The Disco cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is very good.

The Panic At The Disco cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is very good.
