"I can’t stand Amy Winehouse’s Valerie but liked The Zutons "
With you on that.
As much as I love him, Elvis' version of unchained melody isn't a patch on the righteous brothers. |

Weren't they also responsible for that dreadful cover of Teenage Kicks? How anyone in the music industry allowed them to cover that is beyond me.

"Nirvana cover of Boston's More Than a Feeling (Smells like Teen Spirit)
And Killing Joke's 80's (Lithium)"
Kind of loses it's impact of you have to explain it
Every single song on Duran Duran's covers album 'Thank You'! |

Wasnt sure that people knew the similarities..
Well have you heard that album?
It got slagged iff because of their public enemy cover
But lou reed said their version of Perfect Day was better than his
I also love their version of Dylan's Lay Lady Lay |

Go back a little further to “Life Goes On” by The Damned (Strawberries album) for the riff that became “Eighties” (Killing Joke) and then “Lithium” (Nirvana) |

Yeah, I've got the album and I'd have to disagree with Lou Reed! |

"One Direction - One Way Or Another

In relation to stupid bands thinking they can do a classic.
Five - We will rock you. Wtf was Queen thinking with that one?  |

There and to the left a bit |
Putting aside any boy/girl band/X Factor and novelty covers by TV "stars" which are normally just bad karaoke straight covers of the originals anyway and therefore awful and unimaginative - the two biggest offenders for me have to be covers of two songs which should never be covered (apart from by buskers/pub singers in one instance:
American Pie - Madonna - absolutely desecrated it!!
Bohemian Rhapsody - Panic! At The Disco |

I liked the band and it was released in 1995, before the days of Spotify/torrents etc. Try before you buy wasn't an option, hence I've got 100's of albums that I only like a couple of tracks on (usually the first single!) |

"We've had a few threads about favourite covers.
How about ones that you dislike?
To start off I offer Cher's version of Walking in Memphis"
Utter shite |

"I really did not like the Disturbed cover of Sound of Silence or Jeff Buckleys version of Hallelujah.
I do accept that I may be in a minority."
I agree too them both |
