Pretty Bad MP!! The Worst so far that's posted has to be the Immigrant Song!

Although this should be in the running...

^^^ Oh Yeah

Alright, Winger is ok, but never got this really.

^^^^^Ugh! I forgot about that one!!!! But man, their last album Karma is unbelievable!! You wouldn't believe it's Winger. It's very heavy & almost dark. I really recommend it

^^ Yeah the band got better as they got older...for the record I do like the material and music from the first two Winger's but I wanted to contribute and be a good sport here as well.

There are a few butchered cover songs floating around out there.

Here's a good/bad one that should never have been done. Seriously, Quiet Riot should have quit after Cum On Feel The Noize and Mama Weer All Crazee...this is just getting greedy and the stinker that it is shows this.

I also don't like the obvious, "Hey wouldn't it be cool if Van Halen did this on their debut, instead of You Really Got me?" by adding the guitar solo in the beginning.

R.I.P. Kevin.

^^^Perfect description for that one MP!

I would say that all those songs sucked to begin with except the Zepp tune.
If anything most of them sound better then the original to me. Even Limp Bizit as bad as they are ( and not metal ) is better then georgie poo

DKW, I know you like Dio so how do you feel about Killswitch Engage's cover of Holy Diver?

The Dark Angel Cover Of Immigrant Song is a riot .. like Lou says some songs are best left alone.

Here are two covers of In-a-godda-da-vida that the music is pretty good but they fail terribly on the vocals......
