Sorry if there has already been a thread on this, but which would you say are the best and worst covers youve heard?

Best:
  • Jeff Buckleys cover of Leonard Cohen's piece Hallelujah is amazing. It can reduce me to tears because Jeff had a beautiful voice and the song is beautiful.
  • Goldfinger's 99 red balloons originally sung by Nena, I think. Its so upbeaty and makes me wanna start dancing
  • Barenaked Ladies version of Little Green Bag. Such a great track and so jazzy! Plus Tom Jones helps
  • Faith No More with Easy. Lionel Richies version is great, but this one just mellows me out more.
  • Johnny Cash with One. Im not sure who orignally wrote it, but I prefer this version to U2s.
  • Reel Big Fish singing Take On Me. Such an awesome track.
  • Oh and everything Me, First and the Gimme Gimmes sing!

Worst:
  • Ronan Keating with Fairytale Of New York. Just die now Ronan. Shame on you.
  • William Shatner performing Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ... Enough said.
  • Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson. I like him and I like that song, but the 2 should never have been introduced.



How bout you? I cant think of anymore naff ones, but post yours!
