    Oh man Sam, I saw that the other day. Cover or not, that's just plain god-awful isn't it? Worst video ever. I couldn't stop watching it just cause of how bad it was (I was lmao). Just plain awful.

    The Vandals (along with 50million other punk bands) have covered The Ramones with 'Sheena is a Punk Rocker' and, to be quite honest, it's so bad it's great :D

    What about that Pop Idol cover of The Doors? Blasphemy. So bad. Some songs should really be left alone.

    yep some songs really should be left along, go onto your fav file sharing prog & get the original version
    bonethugs & harmoney - see you at the crossroads, eve thoits not your taste in music you will have to admitlits a good track, it has meaning

    the worst thing is they follow da leader that jsut ripped off the beat from that old chocolate puma track - i wanna be with you

    (i dont have some strange tastes in music, bone thugs to korn to eeles, to the beatles, im jsut glad i have understanding neighbours :lol:)

    now sometimes songs can be better when re-covered tianted love sounded better to me in maraly mansons version as it had a more fearce feel to it, a bit darker if you see what i mean

    *sigh* Damn you got me... I'd have to agree there, it is a good cover. Although that song is pretty much "uncoverable" like the others I put in my BAD section.

    I reckon the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover of Tainted Love is better than the Manson cover :D

    I dont think their are alot of covers out their , who are better then the original ...

    a song has to be written by the group , else they cant play it with all their hearts , (yeah i Know , bull****, but still)

    most covers suck poop

    Tainted love has to be one of the most covered songs I've ever run across.

    Good covers I've run across are:
    Anything covered by the electric hellfire club (ex-thrill kill kult)
    anything coverred by 30footFALL (great indie punk band)
    Girls Under Glass cover of Down in the park
    crematory's cover of a Sister's of mercy song (can't remember which)

    off the top of my head.

    That would be Atomic Kitten... thankfully Billie Piper no longer has a record contract... not since becoming an alcoholic recluse with that Evans ****.

    /me hands JStormont a gun.
