What do you think? I was tempted to go for Gareth Gates version of Suspicious Minds but I think Ill plump for Steve Brooksteins version of Against All Odds.
Worst Ever Cover?

And a dire version of 'Knockin' on heavens door'.Also that Mark Ronsons version of The Smiths 'Stop me if you've heard this one before' really grates....can't stand it.
Just thought of another.
That big fat mincing tosser Robbie Williams' attempt at The Charlatans' "The Only One I know" from the aforementioned Mark Ronson album.
Absolutely dire.

probably be ok if the vocals were`nt lost in the mix!
The songs my little brother has on the computer. Stuff like this guy called dj rankin who wrecks perfectly good songs with his club beats. For eg: The titanic, rythem is a dancer. And worst of all bon jovi1s song Living on a prayer, it sounds so bad and he also did a really bad cover of bryan adams and his song summer of 69. I found this website on it.

Those are re-mixes, not cover versions. Big difference. 
Although you are right, "your brother's" music and many if not all of these clubbish re-mixes are terrible.

Lulu's version of 'The Man Who Sold The World'
Can't really recall it now but i know Bowie endorsed it at the time.It might have done your 'ed in but David liked it......or he liked Lulu
He may well have thought it was better than his own but I still don't think so.
Some Goth band have recently done a cover of Genesis' classic hit "Land Of Confusion" and absolutely butchered it. 
Having said that, strange their isn't a great attempt cover versions, Nirvana's attempt at the man who sold the world - is as good as bowies, as is Limp bizkets [sp?] version of - man behind blue eyes is as good as The Who's, altho nothing beats an original there are some covers that are better depending on preference like Paul youngs version of common people.
You're obviously quite ill; your general perception is severely affected. If in normal condition, you would have the ability to judge that each member of Limp Bizkit should be shot in the head for butchering The Who's classic.
You should get that checked out, it could be dangerous.

Actually i am ill so good guess
but to surprise u even more the above song by the who [saves typing it out again] is one of my all times favs from a classic rock film soundtrack, so i still stand by my opinion the singer did do the song as well i said not better than Legend Rodger Daltrey, as every ear is tuned different i need not go further
Actually i am ill so good guess
Still, that doesn't explain your total disregard for the fact that Limp Bizkit are utter rubbish (not even debatable - difference in ears' tuning or not), and Fred Durst is possibly the biggest prat walking the planet... thus making him grossly unworthy of covering a Pete Townshend penned tune.

I actually prefer their version and love the video.
Must be a bug going round or something.
It's a horrid, horrid version.
It's sung (I use the term extremely loosely) without any feeling or empathy with the words.
Townshend wrote the song with a very specific feeling in mind; and I fail to see how anyone can cover a song written in this manner and do it any justice at all?
Especially when the only reason it was recorded was for a film release (Gothika).
