Cover versions that should never have been allowed...

[Crazyface]

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 😱

Hey , I saw this thread and was going to post exactly the same thing!!!!

That Sinead O'Connor song.

I agree with that, Sex Pistols covering God Save the Queen is just one instance!!

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

Junior Shark saw them live recently and came home going ga-ga over that version. And she loves Queen.

Wheatus' attempt at A Little Respect by Erasure. Erasure's version of Take a chance on me. Some appalling boyband murdering Take on me.
Jose Mourinho's version of Chelsea title-winning football at Man Utd.

I'll mention that to him next time he's hitting in the bay next to me at the range 😩

If he sees you in your cycling lycra or hears your cat singing, then he won't be in the next bay.

Please do. The people on R2 were telling him he was great so he may be under the illusion that everyone liked it. They were wrong, it was painful. I'm sure you can check on BBC Sounds if you want to confirm for yourself .

To be fair he's not very communicative the odd hello and he told me his back was injured, and I've never given any inclination that I know who he is. He's about 6ft 2in and a swing to die for though

Duran Duran cover Public Enemy. I win, close the thread

I beg to differ......

My old mucker Fish doing covers album (Songs From The Mirror). None including Boston Tea Party, Jeepster and Five Years did justice to the originals. My least favourite Fish album as it was a compromise to keep the record label happy and get some cash in. Never a recipe for productive and heart felt input

 

[Beezerk]

Phil Collins - A Groovy Kind Of Love

 

[Don Barzini]

Scissor Sisters cover of Comfortably Numb was an absolute abomination.

 

[Curls]

Any cover version of Cold as Ice.

Wrong

Parental guidance advised

I liked it and there are some great live versions of them doing it knocking around. Off to repent my sins

It's not possible to like it Homer, everybody involved in making it should have been killed.

Strangely, I am a big Pink Floyd fan, and I liked this too. I think because it is so different, and so unexpected.

 

[Tongo]

Pet Shop Boys - Always on my Mind. Woeful.

 

[Tongo]

Leona Lewis - Run. Took the brutal reality of a great song and Disneyfied it.
