The 20 Worst Cover Songs in Pop Music History

While I write this I'm laying on an entirely too comfy white bed of a fancy-shmancy Marriott hotel in Winston-Salem, NC. Why, you might ask? Well one of the few upsides to being in the UNC Marching Tar Heels is the opportunity to travel with the men's basketball team to the NCAA tournament, the first round of which happens to be in Winston-Salem this year.

All bragging aside, this means there might be more posts than usual since there will be way too much down time chilling in the hotel. Depending on your point of view, that could be a very good thing or a very annoying thing.

While relishing in my newfound boredom, I came across this interesting list on stereogum that they took from cracked.com. The guys at Cracked decided to compile the 20 worst cover songs in pop music history, and in my opinion did a pretty bad job.

20. "You Shook Me All Night Long" — Celine Dion and Anastasia
19. "Downtown Train" — Rod Stewart
18. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" — Guns N Roses
17. "Demolition Man" — Manfred Mann
16. "American Pie" — Madonna
15. "My Generation" — Hilary Duff
14. "It's My Life" — No Doubt
13. "Video Killed The Radio Star" — The Presidents of the United States of America
12. "Walk this Way" — Macy Gray
11. "Another Brick in the Wall" — Korn
10. "I'm A Believer" — Smash Mouth
09. "Satisfaction" — Britney Spears
08. "Sweet Child O Mine" — Sheryl Crowe
07. "Big Yellow Taxi" — Counting Crows
06. "911 Is a Joke" — Duran Duran
05. "Anarchy in the UK" — Motley Crue
04. "Behind Blue Eyes" — Limp Bizkit
03. "Feel Like Making Love" — Kid Rock
02. "Dock of the Bay" — Michael Bolton
01. "And It Stoned Me" — Bob Dylan

They're completely right about the Sheryl Crow, Korn, Britney, Duff and Dion, but come on, Dylan as #1??? You've got to be kidding me. I also have to say that I'm a huge fan of the Presidents of the U.S.A. version of "Video Killed the Radio Star."

What do you guys think, is Dylan's version really that bad, or are the guys at Cracked on crack?

Talk amongst yourselves.
