I was going to choose that, or Alien Ant Farm's cover of Annie are you ok. But I thought it might be too "popular". But then I see it here, along with Madonna, and That awful cover of "The bridge" in one of the other groups. @)

It's ok, I get more than one vote.

But, I'm assuming Craster had the bannings lined up for the people that chose those songs, whereas you seem to have admitted that you nearly chose one of them yourself.

As the Loaf once said "Two out of Three aint^* bad"

Malc

^* Why does my spell checker not recognise this word?

Because it needs an apostrophe.

Ain't.

Man, this is like Wrongtown today.

Madonna's version of "American Pie" is infinitely better than the original C&W-esque dirge. TRUFAX.

I knew that would happen. You're rubbish.

Shin · **Posted:** Wed Oct 08, 2008 12:19

Madonna, Manson and the Too drunk to fuck song I chose

I agree with Mr.Chris on that one-even if he is a Linkin Park hating bastard

Tainted Love is a terrible, terrible cover - trying to do some proto-scary goth industrial thing of a song that is a bit twisted anyway is just a waste of time. If you are going to pick a Manson cover, its "Sweet Dreams" all the way.

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Wed Oct 08, 2008 12:39

The votes in this category are very, very wrong.

What he said. Except that Sweet Dreams is almost as awful.

I fear.

What does it add? Nothing. Mr Manson should just write stand up comedy instead, or something.

I agree with Tainted Love being terrible but Sweet Dreams is almost as bad but that's probably got something to do with me hearing it over and over when I worked at Cash Converters. Budding local guitarists would come in, try a guitar out and invariably play either Sweet Child of Mine or Sweet Dreams. I think his Rock N Roll Nigger is a bit better but he really shouldn't do covers, they're usually awful.

How long have you had hearing problems?

Spiritualized's Daniel Johnston cover is nice enough, but it doesn't compare to the heart-wrenching original.
