I have heard John Cougar Mellencamp's version of Wild Night, a great Van Morrison song, one too many times. He should remove it from circulation, if that's possible.

Here's some of my un-favourites:
Any version of 'Louis Louis' other than the original :
. Especially when whoever it is tries to sing the 'right words'
'The Sound of Silence' by Disturbed
'Mr Bojangles' and 'Big Yellow Taxi' by Bob Dylan (from the dire "Dylan" album, over which Bob had no say at all)
'My Way' by Sid Vicious
'Don't You Do It', a Motown song given a great cover by The Band; The Who's version, however is charmless and un-funky.

I grew up listening to Linda Ronstadt singing "You're no good"
She did a good job though I have to admit the original was better by a long shot.

Milow’s cover of “Ayo Technology”. Rather than singing or showing interest in the subject matter, it’s more like Milow is talking to himself in the mirror in preparation for an interview at the local insurance company. The acoustic guitar can’t save him.

Such depressing times when utter crap like this reaches the top 3 hit charts!
I really hated the Disturbed cover, but this one is far worse.
I heard a dj on the radio say he really didn’t want to play this, he hated it. But because it was high on charts he had to... the bosses said.
Blasphemy!!!
