Belushi did it better than Cocker. 😆

the group covering nirvana, the group covering when is now -also theme of Charmed, and.of.course.will.iam.SHAT.ner!
two videos were marked ‘private’ so they must really be awful.
To: Larry Lucido
Joe Cocker singing A Little Help From My Friends.
That's considered bad? I consider it probably better than the original - Ringo was an underrated drummer, but his vocals...

no Celine Dion “you shook me all night long”? who’s effed up idea was that?
Bananarama should have left “Venus” alone, too.

“Joe Cocker singing A Little Help From My Friends.“
I disagree. Joe did an excellent version of that Beatles song.

Corey Hart should be arrested for the murder of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Live With You”.

Guns & Roses “Knockin on Heavens Dowo”
If you cover Dylan do it better than Dylan. It’s easy.

The original song was written as fast and up beat. Many have praised them for making a sad song actually sound sad.
To: DallasBiff
I don't know about the worst, but two of the best ever are Nirvana covering
The Man Who Sold The World on MTV Unplugged and Metallica covering
Whiskey in the Jar.
David Bowie did the first one and Thin Lizzy first did a modern version of the second one.

That is one of the greatest covers ever made. Only version of that song to recognize how angry the lyrics are. Even the guy that wrote the song said it’s amazing.

Wrong.
Joe’s rendition of WALHFMF is brilliant, raw, and passionate.
The worst cover of all time, hands down, is Manfred Mann butchering Blinded By The Light.
Dishonorable Mention:
Knocking On Heaven’s Door, GNR
Live and Let Die, GNR
Come Together, Aerosmith

Any cover of Lynard Skynard’s Simple Man of which there are scores.
Even the self indulgent good ones can’t touch it.
