A song murdered by someone.


Is there a cover version of a song you like by the original artist that has been in your ears truly murdered by a covering artist?
Mine is 'Everybody Knows' by Leonard Cohen, absolutely murdered by Barb Jungr.

Also I have a cover that I do not like at all and in my opinion has lost all, and I say all the poetry and melancholy of the original version, it seems that the band took the music and the words without bothering or wondering what it meant and the 'have adapted to their style and the result is, for me, bad, unacceptable, I realize that the band has many fans and they will disagree and even think that everything has been improved, no, it is not so.
I'm talking about "Knocking on hevens door" by Bob Dylan in the cover of guns & roses that have also done very nice things but not in this case.
I've heard so many people and some critics rave about that GnR song. It is probably my least favorite thing they ever did.
GNRs version doesnt have the soul of the original. I feel goosebumps listening to the original
Dylan wrote the song for the movie Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, and is used to great effect in the scene in which Slim Pickens' character is dying. Dylan had a small role in the movie, playing a character named Alias.
