Actually Creed's cover of Riders is the best on Stoned Immaculate. It really makes me mad, because I hate Creed. They did a good job, though.


Worst:
Knocking on Heaven's Door: Avril
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds: William Shatner
Britney Spears: Satisfaction (I still remember telling a friend when this came out. "She had no right to do a Stones song." She said, "It's not a Stones song, these two guys wrote it." "Keith Richards and Mick Jagger?" "Yah, that sounds familiar. I don't really remember their names." "That would, the Stones, April" "Oh"
Britney Spears: I Love Rock and Roll ("I LOVE Pat Benetar" Britney Spears, she said this is was why she covered the song.............We all know who did the song, right?)
School's Out: Sebastian Bach (This is dreadful. Beyond words)
Appetite for Reconstruction- the whole album.


Best:
Cry me a River: Aerosmith (Julie London cover)
Guns: Live and let Die
Alice Cooper: Fire
Cum on Feel the Noise: Quiet Riot, who wrote the original? I know it's a cover
Warren Zevon: Knocking on heaven's Door

I dunno, I'm not in a thinking mood

The original was by Slade, and Quiet Riot's version is way better than the original. yes

My all time favorite cover is Def Leppard's acoustic version of the stones " Cant Always Get What You Want " , second Neurotic Outsiders version of Duran Duran's Planet earth just rocks.

sinead o connor "nothin compares 2 u" (prince cover)

Didn't Prince actually write it for her? Or has he put it out on one of his albums/singles? As far as I know Prince has only sung it live.

Anyways, another awesome Prince cover is 'Purple Rain' by Tori Amos. Blows my mind.

'Spaceman' by The Kovenant is a lot of fun, and 'Love Buzz' by Nirvana kicks ass. Also, Sepultura's version of 'The Hunt' is great.

The Failure song 'The Nurse Who Loved Me' is brilliantly covered by A Perfect Circle, it's just larger than life.

As for bad covers, Metallica's version of 'Loverman' is pretty horrible.
