    I always hated hearing Alien Ant Farm's cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal"....I was never a fan of theirs but it especially got me mad because I felt they got famous by covering that song not from their own, original songs...I feel like that violates some sort of unwritten rule--a band must be good and established before they cover a song.
    What?!? No, We can't stop here, this is bat country.

    some rapper guy ( i dont know who ) didnt quite cover but used parts of buffalo springfields for what its worth ...
    Public Enemy for the "He Got Game" soundtrack. Pretty bad, I agree.

    I hated Joss Stone's "Fell In Love With A Boy." Not only was is a terrible take on the original(with a terrible change in titles!), but it was like 6 months after the original came out! The original with the Lego video was still popular when she comes out with her crappy cover.

    Limp Bizkit's also been known to cover Master of Puppets, so Fred Durst is a repeat offender. I like 311, but they do a live cover of D'yer Maker that is horrendous.

    cmon...

    311 covering Love Song.

    Robert Smith should go all... south park.. on them..

    robert smith should use robot punch and beat the shit out of them for that one.

    seriously..

    one gorgeous song.. and they made a terrible, souless, reggae cover of it..

    you know what sounds good as reggae music..?

    REGGAE MUSIC... nothing else...

    and no 311 aren't reggae.

    so true, probably the epitome of an insulting cover

    I liked the song but I liked their other stuff better. I don't mind them considering they really aren't a serious band. Much more light hearted and are doing it for fun, not to be big.

    at that point durst crossed that fine line between 'hated' and 'on deathlists' i think.

    L-I-M-P-B-I-Z-C-U-I-T

    ugh.

    i can't even laugh at it it's so insulting...

    maybe a little..

    yeah the durst behind blue eyes was an aural holocaust.

    i kinda like the alien ant farm smooth criminal. their drummer, mike cosgrove is a bad ass.

    i heard evanescence do a cover of soundgarden's 4th of july. it wasn't great, but the fact they covered that song was cool.

    i wasn't keen on that a perfect circle covers album either.

    there's gotta be something worse than that though. i can't think of it right now

    Well lets see....Adema covering Nutshell by AIC...that was painful to listen to. Staind did a decent cover of Nutshell...check it on Strippedmusic.com.
    That whole Perfect Circle cover CD blew man, that was a major let down from an extremely talented group. There was one song, Passive, great song. Apparently it was written years ago, and is somehow connected to Trent of NIN.

    fred durst aint just a two time offender neither. he covered bittersweet symphony as well

    yes that reminds me.

    APC's TERRIBLE version of Imagine.

    that song used to have grace and beauty...

    The Ataris made a terrible cover of Boys of Summer. Enjoy it while it lasts guys.

    Henley's original is one of my favorite 80's songs. Every time I hear it, it takes me back. I dont hate the Atari's version, but it cant stand next to the original.
    One cover I never liked was GnR doing "Sympathy for the Devil". I think it was on the "Interview With a Vampire" soundtrack.
