Paul Young's Love Will Tear Us Apart is not his finest moment. I also heard an absolutely torturous version of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game recently, it was a male singer, completely changed the rhythm and ruined an amazing song. It took me quite a while to work out what I was listening to.

Radiohead covered a Joy Division song too, painful. Metallica and The Wait too.

We can add Radioheads cover of Nobody does it better to the list too

Sorry Lemmy, but this is utter shite 

 

 

I love this cover. I think it's very nearly as good as the original.

'Reported', to give Admins a chance to tidy up the spaffing. 'Report' is your friend.

What? That's arguably one of the better cover versions out there. Paul Simon gives it his seal of approval too.

I daren't post his cover of Enter Sandman ...

And don't forget there's innumerable breathy versions of classics specially made for use in perfume ads 🤮

His Sandman cover has to be heard to be believed

Wow, I didn’t expect that. But I suspect he only said as part of his ongoing rift with Art Garfunkel - Disturbed gifted him the biggest possible insult he could throw at Art.

The worst cover versions ever are absolutely everything done by Toya and her tone deaf husband since the start of lockdown.

It’s the vocal that does it for me, it’s dreadful

I think the vocals are great, dome of Lemmys best singing. I guess we can't all like the same thing 

[Grimalkin]

Wasn't it this Cilla Black cover that finally pushed Marr over the edge?

 

Four-letter word indeed.
