Anything featuring a footballer or ex soap star

Any cover Lissie does, her version of "go your own way" was hollow and tuneless, completely sucked the life from a fantastic tune.
ellie goulding has a habit of doing the same.

here's one that'll cause controversy. Johnny cash doing Hurt.
lets be clear, i love johnny cash, and he's made a living of doing fantastic covers, but this song. just no. trent's original piano solo version is all that's needed.

At first I hated Johnny Cash's version, but when you watch it with the accompanying music video it gives the song a whole new meaning. Beautiful version IMO, and one of which Trent approves. You might want to have a re-listen to the original version, definitely not a piano solo - maybe you're thinking of it performed live?

As far as atrocities go, Leona Lewis' version of the song is absolutely dreadful.

To be fair, I think Roger Waters should do a 25 minute dirge on the Scissor Sisters 'I don't feel like dancing' (or whatever it was called).

Yeah, I can imagine that... I don't feel like dancing because I'm slowly loosing my marbles, and a nuclear apocalypse is immanent.... so that's why i don't feel like dancing

 

[Stephen C]

I think this is a good contender for most atrocious:

Kiss Me's a cover? I wondered why it was the only vaguely listen-able song on the album...

You've got the album?

original was a piano solo layered into a full on piece, i've seen the cash video, it adds to it certainly but musically the original still sounds better imo.
but then that's just my opinion

 

[marknotgeorge]

You've got the album?

I bought it, because Kiss Me wasn't a bad song. I've no idea if I still have it - the rest of the album's dire.

Anything by George Michael

 

[Lullabelle]

Following on from the thread about poor remakes of films, I have been having similar thoughts with some "new" music that is around.

First up George Michael - and his new song Let Her Down Easy

Not a bad version of a lovely song. ..
....until you hear the original !

Just perfect as it was- Leave it alone!
Makes George Michael's look like a bad x factor contestant.

The there is Cliff and Engelbert - who between them should really know better
(sorry but this is the only vid of the song on youtube)

Again OK but why not just listen to the far better original!

I heard the George Michael version earlier today, awful awful awful

 

[Black Country Ste]

Did you even listen to the song, Bruce?

 

[Over The Hill]

I think this is a good contender for most atrocious:

I did not realise it was the same record! You have to cut them a bit of slack they have Louise!

I was listening to Laibach's excellent Iron Sky soundtrack the other day, which brought some of their horrors back to me...

 

[MontyVeda]

ouch!

much watch Iron Sky again though... lots of fun!

Yeah, it's not great. This is everything they've covered: http://www.coversproject.com/artist/laibach/ None of it is very good.
