You're going in the fire later this year.

a tribute seems to be done exactly the way the original was. a cover is a rendition of the song to make it the cover artist's version.

That was my Spiegle cover!!!!

Blinded By The Light

Original Cover: Manfred Mann's Earth Band - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcWVL4B-4pI

Cover: Annette Tezkratt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hx3NQ35M_4

Turns into a cover of Loving You halfway through.

Shoutout to Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special -- would be cool to see something like that back on the air.

This is a top 5 Dylan song for me, and I am always down for some G. Lightfizzle. This is so transcendently bad I had to find this thread. I think I posted in here that the "worst" covers are songs you like, covered by people you like, that go horribly wrong. I love Joan Jett, I believe she was wholly conceived by Rock and Roll midi-chlorians , but she's got a railyard full of these, too.

From Wikipedia:
"Wagon Wheel" is composed of two different parts. The chorus and melody for the song come from a demo recorded by Bob Dylan during the Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid sessions in February 1973. Although never officially released, the Dylan song was released on a bootleg, usually named after the chorus and its refrain, "Rock Me Mama". Dylan left the song an unfinished sketch.

Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show wrote verses for the song around Dylan's original chorus (and melody)

OCMS really fleshed the song out and put the flesh and skin on the song but the bones came from Dylan.

I'll help you throw him in. No one does a Seger song better than Seger.

Agree with a lot of what has been said especially any cover by Disturbed.

I will add, and while it's not a great song to begin with, Rascal Flats version of Life is a Highway might be one of the worst things ever. But then again, anything by the Rascal Flats is complete butt.

I love that one.

Disrespectful to Tom Cochrane.

Sheryl Crow- Sweet Child o' Mine

Mary J. Blige - One

brutal

I think he started it...

Tori Amos--"Smells Like Teen Spirit" (I'm ok with it as a tribute, though, as WZ pointed out)

"Cat's in the Cradle" by Ugly Kid Joe was just a waste of resources.

Anything ever covered by Motley Crue and any Beatles song covered by Aerosmith.

Disagree with Motley Crue. Their version of Smokin' in the Boys' Room is great.

Wholeheartedly agree with Ugly Kid Joe, however.

I agree. And to go along with that bad cover from the Big Daddy soundtrack, I will add Everlast's cover of Only Love can Break your Heart.

I actually like that bad Harvey Danger cover of "Save it for Later." I attribute that to the fact that "Save it for Later" is such a good song more than anything else.

Punk bands do some of the best covers. There are few punk covers that are actually better than the original song - Me First and the Gimme Gimme's cover of Danny's Song or Slick Shoes cover of Candy.

_________________

Agreed.

I like the punk version of My Way at the end of Goodfellas.

And the original My Way is a favorite of mine, too.

While I'd love to join JORR in bagging on the wastes of talent that are Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart.....Shirtless Driver WINS.

What kills me about the Kravitz cover of American Womanis
1) Lenny is fucking awesome
2) People think that cover is awesome

Hot Garbage.

I'll add any cover of "Dancing In the Streets" Van Halen, Bowie / Jagger, Grateful Dead
all Crap.
