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.
The worst in my opinion is Joan Baez and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down....."Virgil Cain is my name............." yeah, right. Quite a hit for her and a much bigger hit for her than The Band.
No Doubt's cover of Talk Talk's "It's My Life" (1984). Sure, let's take the soul-rending vocals of the original and replace them with a flashy, annoying girl. What makes the cover much worse is that most people don't even know it's a cover.
