Best and Worst Cover Versions

[Banned Tosspot]

The worst version of a song ive ever heard is Louise Redknapp s version of Stuck in the Middle with You,What an insult to the Late,Great Gerry Rafferty!!

Great for being a one hit Dylan rip off?

Am I the only one who has had the misfortune to hear the Milly Cyrus version of Billy's "Rebel Yell" ?

One for my favourite Mod, the greatest ever Mancunian's version of Bowie's "Drive in Saturday".

Took me a while, but I love this.

Not for me. The Billy Paul version is an absolute classic.

or

'Love will tear us apart' - Paul Young.

Slightly off topic, but there was a piece on Radio 2 a few weeks back where they said the most covered song ever was Amazing Grace, with something like (cant remember exactly) 7000 different licensed versions.

Obviously didnt include the song Happy Birthday...

I did Google it to confirm it, but i get a variety of different answers back!

Listening to this last night. Scott Walker's cover of Dylan's 'I Threw It All Away'.

Just exquisite!

I thought it was a Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty penned tune, parodying the Great Mr Zimmerman.
