[StephenTJackson]

Why has nobody mentioned the real greatest cover of all time. Not even by a professional singer.

Holding Out for A Hero - Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother.



Adam Lambert has also released a cover of this I really like.

 

[bubbadabut]

Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah - best.

Any of the Band Aid covers - worst.

 

[bubbadabut]

Worst,
Behind blue eyes - limp bizkit

I would add their cover of George Michael's "Faith" to that too

 

[Warpaint]

Might as well start off with the biggies

Best:


Worst:

 

[Heyholetsgo]

I hate that Sinead o Connor song, must be the only person in the world that doesn't like it!

 

[Kim Mild]

Worst - All Saints - under the bridge

Best - The Ataris-Boys of Summer


Cheesiest - Bjorn Again -Stop

 

[Damocles]

This Is How You Cover A Song...




This Isn't... The Worst Cover EVER

 

[Wifo1976]

Not technically a cover, but what’s that Dua Lipa/Elton John Cold Heart effort?! Not an EJ fan by any means but that song is an irritating mash up. I wish people would leave things alone

 

[Dogtanian]

Worst. cover. ever. (The comments are LOL though)

 

[Compassionately_judging]

Sound of silence, by Disturbed , is a fantastic cover .

 

[Ingognito.Queen]

Was it some sort of piss take? Genuinely, it has... vibes about it, but The Saw Doctors seem to be a popular and well respected band?!

I know what you mean, it's difficult to describe...They are a popular and well respected band. They are adored in Ireland, however - their music is very much pub tunes, drinking songs. They are a fun band.

 

[under the ivy]

Kate Bush's cover of Rocket Man is sublime

 

[Retro80s]

Yes, the 1st Band Aid is the best, in my opinion obviously. Love the Gary Jules version of Depeche Mode's 'Mad World', although it really affects me and like Marilyn Manson's 'Personal Jesus'. Bad Wolves did a very good cover of 'Zombie'.

Tears for Fears, not Depeche Mode

I love Dear prudence - Siouxsie and the Banshees

Also Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles

 

[Sancrow]

Worst,
Behind blue eyes - limp bizkit

 

[Piff paff puff]

I’ve just looked it up as I’d never heard that it wasn’t the original, but I can’t find anything that says it isn’t. Search results say a reggae band did cover it but that was after she recorded and released it. (Also learnt that it was originally offered to Gwen Stefani but she had took a step back from music at the time as she was pregnant).

This is my nomination for worst cover:

Oh! I shouldn't have assumed!
I could see why they offered it to gwen but I'm glad Paris did it, it really suited her vocals too.

 

[bolimepipi]

oh my god that puddle of mud cover ahahaha jeez

 

[Stripper Vicar]

You are my new favourite tattler

Shrek is amazing !! The dvd for the first film had a karaoke dance party scene which is also fabulous
