I want to start a thread dedicated to awful covers of great songs by shitty bands.

that panic at the disco cover is horrendous. this cassettes won't listen must be the worst band ever.
i love the perfect circle imagine cover, i could easily see why people would hate it though.
the limp bizkit behind blue eyes cover is so bad i'll spare you guys of it. likewise with britney's satisfaction and korn's another brick in the wall.
this is one everyone seems to love and i can't stomach.

You sir, deserve rep. That cover is wretched, and I'm sick of people listing it as one of the best.

For my money, it doesn't get much worse than Whitney Houston's ham-fisted and pompous-assed slaughter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUoEil40qZA) of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YU7aLPoPVM).

The "new fab 4" -- British band McFly -- has made a mini-career out of doing covers to great songs, in addition to their original songs. Most of them are pretty awful ("Pinball Wizard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhmxK2UfDHU)" or "Don't Stop Me Now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3AmcbzoIRQ)") although in complete fairness they do a cover of "Born to Run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIeTWTUGK1k)" that isn't complete shit. At least.
But they definitely qualify for this thread, for the most part.

This reminds me of the best list ever devised (http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/lists/13KevinC.Smith.html), by our friends at McSweeney's Internet Tendency (http://www.mcsweeneys.net).

I fucking hate that Guns N Roses cover, but it was 10x worse when Avril Lavigne did it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. A few seconds into it you can hear a woman go "Whaaa!?" in this high-pitched voice in the background.

She not only did that, but she covered Fuel at the Metallica tribute show as well. That was horrible.

Was that that MTV Icon shit a few years ago? I remember watching that.
Limp Bizkit did a cover too, and it was ridiculously awful. We can probably fill this thread with that event alone.

OH GOD! This is good compared to the version released on the Live ERA album. Halfway through, Axel shouts, "gimme some reggae!" The the band attempts to play reggae for a brief interlude. To this day my brother and I will say to each other "gimme some reggae" when something strikes us as particularly terrible.
This, I personally hate. Sorry fans. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Ki2DJfhns)

For being an untrained singer, Stamp can do some good stuff. I like his voice and some of their "material."
"Some" in a "can count on one hand if the hand had lost some fingers in a wheat-thresher accident" kind of way.
