Dream Theater's cover of Maiden's The Number of the Beast album. I am a big fan of both DT and Maiden, but you really can't use keyboard to replace one of the guitars, and LaBrie's register is too low to follow Dickinson. An absolute shame.

Tainted Love by the those two "lads"

Gloria Jones original was great

Will this version pass muster?, I think it's a cracking cover

Excellent guitar solo, at 01:33

This is truly awful.

Please note that should there be any "likes" for this, I will take it as you agree that the song is appropriate for the thread title and not that you like the song.

I did not know that this existed... massive Maiden fan, less so Dream Theatre and I cannot see how their style will fit. Still have a listen though.

That's probably the very worst version I have heard, it shows little understanding of the song.
There may be a even worse one out there yet, there's plenty to choose to from.

When I found out about the covers I was really excited, and then I listened to them.

covering one song badly is bad enough...but a whole album!

I'll not post a link but Flaming Lips' version of Dark Side of the Moon was rubbish too.

Who would even be silly enough to attempt a cover of DSoM.

It's, well, awful frankly. A strong contender for victory of this thread.

It is something that over the whole set of 8 covers there isn't a single redeeming feature.

Just goes to show he doesn't have shred of musical empathy stitched into his syrup.

This has got to be the winner.
