Best/Worst Cover Songs

[ThePrince85]

You can add Poison's cover of "Sexy Back" to the unacceptable list. Yes, that's not a typo. Poison actually covered this song. A little part of me died the first and only time that I listened to this song.

I'm a big Poison fan btw, I just don't see my self forgiving them for this anytime soon.

I am a big fan of Goldfiger's cover of Nina's 99 Red Balloons and more recently Quietdrive's cover of Cindy Lauper's Time After Time.

I just went and brought that song... I love 'alone'.. its pretty decent for a celine song.

Out of the top of my head:

Best: Grace Jones - Love Is The Drug (she did away with the cheesy beat the Roxy Music original had and gave it a fast and frantic background).

Worst: Kylie Minogue - Love Is The Drug (horribly sung with her now trademark whispery "sexy" voice).
