Completely inspired by the suckitude of the awful and horrific rendition of Careless Whisper by Seether. I mean really how can a band that has a few rocking songs go so incredibly wrong? I decided to enlighten the world with my always scientific list of good cover songs and bad cover songs.
The Good
Black by Aaron Lewis of Staind - I honestly like it better than the original. And NO it is not whiny.
Higher Ground by Red Hot Chili Peppers - Awesome!
Give a Little Bit by Goo Goo Dolls - much improved
Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm
Hurt by Johnny Cash
The Bad
Careless Whisper by Seether
Love Song by 311 - no, No, NOOOOOO!!!!!!
Last Kiss by Pearl Jam - truly Eddie you made my ears bleed
Okay this list was a lot bigger in my head before I actually sat down and started typing but you get the idea. So what do you think? Best cover songs? Worst cover songs? Share with the group.
