Best and worse cover versions of all time
lets here them folks

To realy be considered a great cover version the cover'er (?) has to have made the song their own. Suppose could also include versions of traditional songs

Here's a few to get us started

Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
Apocalyptica - Nothing else matters
Travis - baby One more time
Faith no more - easy like sunday morning
The Cure - Purple Haze
Ian Brown - Billy Jean
Luka Bloom - when doves cry


bad ones well that should go without saying

Louise - Stuck in the middle with you

unbelievably terrible
