Favorite/Most Hated covers?

In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded, commercially released song or popular song. It can sometimes have a pejorative meaning implying that the original recording should be regarded as the definitive or "authentic" version, and all others merely lesser competitors, alternatives or tributes (no matter how popular)

My favorite cover has to be either....

The Animals' Cover of "Please Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood
or
Goldfinger's cover of "99 Luft/Red Balloons

my least favorite would have to be
Bob Dylan's cover of "The Boxer" Sounds a bit like drunken rambling.

Best Covers:

Frijid Pink - House of the rising sun
Arlo Guthrie - 1913 Massacre
Muse - Feeling good
Guns N Roses - Knocking On Heaven's Door
Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
Muse - Back in black


Worst Covers:

Bob Dylan - House of the rising sun
Metallica - Turn the page

Chibi, you know that the Animals' version of House of the Rising Sun is a cover as well?

1000 Miles by Hello Astronaut - I like it cause the original is by a girl, and seeing that I don't like girl voices but I love the lyrics of this song finding a good male cover made me happy <3

So Happy Together by Simple Plan - Good song by my fav band. <3 Shane says they took away the emotion from it. But I still like it.

Umbrella by All Time Low - Probably one of the most overly covered songs, for newer songs at least. I like it for the same reason as the first though ^^

Come together by Aerosmith - Even if it makes me think of dead people now. *glares at Erik*

Yes, I am aware. I don't like the animals version. Sue me |:

The furthest back I know of the song is by Something-Ashley, from the 1920s.
