[Music] Cover versions that should never have seen the light of day

[Wozza]

Im fairness to Take That, it was a bit of fun on tour, and not released.

That absolute abomination by some already-forgotten "winner" of X Factor (or some similar no-talent show) cover version of "Forever Young".

A wonderful song destroyed.

What was Siouxsie thinking of ....

But was this a cover or just a song with the same title of an earlier 60s song?

We normally see eye to eye about music, but I have to take exception to this. I swear that at one point he sings the line: "You c***, I'm not a queer". What's not to like? I have been know to do a karaoke version of this when drunk. It's not a patch on another cover of a silimar vein that's just sprung to mind though....one for the other thread.

[MENTION=205]Tom Hark, Preston Park[/MENTION] must have missed this one then

Lisa Scott-Lee’s daughter was in the same class as my son for a couple of years. Even at age 7/8 she was showing signs of being a right little madam. Lisa and her husband were actually alright though.

Wrong thread?

Nothing to see here.

Wet wet wet’s cover of The Troggs Love is All Around made me cringe whenever I heard it, which was far too often.

It made Reg Presley very rich though.

There are many who have murdered a Dylan song, this is just one twee example

Phil Collins' act of vandalism on You Can't Hurry Love might warrant a mention?

This is hideous. At least try to make it sound different, FFS.

I really liked this version

...and this one I believe, unbelievable as it may seem, was a minor hit ....

If you want full on audio torture, just listen to virgin radio for a morning.

George did it best imo.

I'm afraid that c 1972, my mate - who was far cooler than me - asked me what I was trying to sing. When I replied that it was the Olivia Newton-John (later know as Neutron-Bomb I believe) song, he gave me a look of such withering contempt that I still remember it some 50 years later!

I love David Bowie, I love most of the music he made, but, Let’s Spend the night together, is just wrong in so many ways.

I bought Aladdin Sane the day it was released, as a fresh faced naive 14 year old. It is still my least favourite Bowie recording, and yes, I have listened to Tin Drum.

Worse than Little Drummer Boy?

Yes, you only get to hear that a couple of weeks in December.

Cover versions? Check.
Should have been binned? Check.

Seems right thread to me.

What!?

Clearly not one of his best albums, but it's got Watch that Man, The Jean Genie, Drive in Saturday and Time on it. All stone cold classics.

I bought this album, aged 12, after seeing him doing Starman on TOTP. It was my first album purchase. I was enormously disappointed that Starman wasn't on it, so Ziggy Stardust became my second album purchase.

He later produced some FAR inferior albums, IMHO.

 

[Barham's tash]

Amazed it took until post #39 tbh

Yep, that is unequivocally shit.

WS also crucified 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' . Its too hideous to post. NSC would never recover

Balls. This was going to be my opening/winning gambit.

In all it’s beauty:
