>Big Time Rush
Who?
Oh God that's one of the worst things I've ever heard.
some shitty tv show band
when you aunts and uncles were like "ohmigawd dis is so butyful" and you like nibba dat aint simon & garfunkel
Bonus points for an artist I like:
youtube.com
Although to be fair it was just a soundcheck and the producer put it on the album for some reason.
Fuck off
Not to be edgy but holy fuck how many white trash oxy painkiller overdose funerals do you think this has been played at?
Meh, really not that bad
best coast aren't professional musicians
>U2
Yuck
Holy fuck what were they thinking? Everything about this is bad.
Man, this isn't even poorly performed, just the arrangement is incredibly awful.
jesus christ
This is why everyone hates these retards
I adore this cover and I'm not a huge fan of Best Coast
>professional musicians
oh god my ears
It's like a teenage youtube cover
no
...
FUCK U2 SO HARD
youtube.com
Not as terrible as I was expecting it to be desu. Still bad though.
youtube.com
you're welcome
Jesus fucking Christ Billy

Does band's covering the band that they used to be count?
I sadly relate to this
At least they have good taste in music.
not that bad
>hurr band I don't like isn't real music
Whose 6th grade piano recital is this?
wew
I'm at work, so I dunno if this has been posted already but I just wanted to share it.
This is actually good, not cringe at all
You can post literally anything from those AV Club cover series but this is a particularly great choice.
do ironic covers count?
this is their song lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
youtube.com
Actually a remix, but it's bad enough that I'm willing to ignore the technicality
idk the xiu xiu one from this year was really good imo
youtube.com
This is shitty even if you like both Motorhead and Metallica
I want to punch her
Better than the original if you ask me.
Not that bad except for the guitar solo.
I don't get the point of 100% accurate studio covers though.
I think this was a joke song.
Most likely, while high.
It sounds that way...
Heh... I remember when this came out and I got that single. It was the worst.
>it was worse than that Depeche Mode single that came out at the same time
The problem with the Cure is that even their sound checks sound awesome.
Also, I view their entire first album as one big sound check, so...
>Banbury ROAD
ripoff of a ripoff of the Pixies
Ow.
I don't think so
youtube.com
you cut me too deep
is that lil pump on the drums?
I was gonna point out New Order but then I found this:
youtube.com
And I had to laugh and say to myself, "Well, damn..."
Rivers seems like one of the musicians that commits suicide but in his case the bullet missed or something and he survived and now this is what comes after that.
Less horrible but still not good.
youtube.com
If I was AJJ I would avoid covering Mountain Goats or NMH as to not invite the comparisons.
I'm not sure these count
They were bad to begin with
So where's the compass?
to be fair, i don't think i've ever heard a good cover of either a Mountain Goats or Neutral Milk Hotel song
This is the most hilarious one in this thread. Just seeing Sting cringe live makes it perfect
I think that made me pro war
I know, right?!
It reminds me of my late grandpa (God bless his soul) when he would HAVE to comment on "The Niggers trying to sing the National Anthem at the beginning of Football games.
>emphasis are/were his
"They've gotta put their own spin on it. It ain't broke, godammit."

what was björk thinking
Oh god it gets worse every second
youtube.com
This cover single-handedly made me hate Robyn.
youtube.com
i hate this cover a lot
>listen to U2
>It Ain't Me starts playing
God I really love The Mars Volta but they can fuck right off with their excessive sound manip shit.
A bit here and there can be interesting but that swishy sound here is the most aggravating thing in the universe
Bowie's Spend the Night Together on Aladdin Sane is shitty too.
Try again youtube.com
nobody except for Tricky can be allowed to cover a song by her
FACT.
>reminder that he got to fuck her
this cured my depression
I remember when this album came out and this cover is fucking awesome. I've known BTMI for a LONG time just because they've been around in the punk scene forever and I've never liked them but they crushed this cover.
I've never heard a good Björk cover that wasn't an instrumental.
...
how could we forget this monstrosity youtube.com
youtube.com
i mean, professional is pushing it
This is kind of amateurish in how it's arranged, but it sounds good. If this is your metric for "worst", I envy your ignorance to true horror.
>youtube.com
You would be doing this girl a favor by telling her she's talentless. She's heard the lie way too long.
2005-2010 Weezer is sad to watch. At least they've gotten back into it recently (for the most part)
Holy fuck this is good. Who arranged this?
What's even the problem with this one? This isn't a far cry from the original and has the AJJ touch to it.
Cedric was heavily inspired by Brainiac. But the thing is, it worked when Brainiac did the vocal manipulation. Cedric just does it for the sake of doing it. It adds nothing to the music, in fact it detracts from it. The acoustic version of The Widow suffers significantly from this youtube.com
>talentless
Yeah, no. Her intonation and rhythm are not only adequate but impressive. You're wrong.
that would be a pretty cool cover if Robert were singing desu
this would be what the beatles sounded like if they came out today
