I could go on. I apologise in advance if I have already taken all of someone's favourites.

Terrible covers include Madonna's ruination of Don McLean's "American Pie" and Britney Spears' desecration of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" (actual good covers have been recorded by Devo and the Residents, although neither is recognisable as the same song and the latter in particular will probably sound like noise to a lot of people here).
