Started posting this in the other thread but I saw it was a repeat of this thread
Here are mine:
- "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix (originally by Bob Dylan)
- "Mad World" by Gary Jules (originally by Tears for Fears)
- "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin (originally by Jake Holmes)
- "Woodstock" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (originally by Joni Mitchell)
- "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Creedence Clearwater Revival (originally written by Norman Whitfield and Barret Strong and performed by Gladys Knight and the Pips)
- "In the Pines" live unplugged by Nirvana (traditional American folk song)
- "Hotel California", the Gipsy Kings or Majek Fashek version (originally by The Eagles)
- "Money" by the Easy Star All-Stars ft. Dollarman & Gary "Nesta" Pine (originally by Pink Floyd)
- "Bongo Bong" by Manu Chao (originally by Mano Negra)
As far as awful, terrible, ****** covers of songs go, the first one off the top of my head is "Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit (originally by The Who, and far better)
