| Worst Cover Songs Ever
In the spirit of the other thread about what you think are the best cover songs, how about one covering the ones you hated?
I'll start with a couple of real stinkers.
Pat Boone - "Down With the Sickness"
Cheryl Crowe - "Sweet Child O' Mine"

I have to agree on those two. You might have picked the two worst covers ever. | |

| Michael Bolton + any R&B/Soul classic
When he covers a classic soul tune, he ruins it forever.

| I'm not a fan of Hinder at all, think they pretty much suck as much as a band can suck. That song they had "lips of an angel" was bad enough and then I hear a country version of it, if ever the word FAIL should apply. Nothing worse than taking a crappy song to begin with and making it even worse. | |

I never heard that one, I think his version of "The Star Spangled Banner" rocks though. | |

Considering the era, I think he did it perfectly. | |

| No doubt, he had some serious talent. That version during those times might have gone over with me had I been there, but I just never have liked it. I might have felt diffrently in the 60's though.
I'll say this, considering the state of the Union during those times, I think that performance of that song spoke volumes to that generation.
