Is Celine Dion's cover of AC/DC's Shook me All Night Long - the worst cover ever?
It kinda hurts the ears. Can it get worse?

1. Can it get worse? Oh, yes.
Imagine Michael Bolton doing that song with Zamfir doing Angus' solo on his Panflute.

6. Yeah, and I know some who love it!
Whatever.

I didn't care for Metallica's cover of Turn the Page.

24. Agreed....Madonna's remake was horrible
I remember when it came out that one of the DJs on a radio station that I listened to at the time introduced the song by saying "Hey Madonna, how long has it been since you released a good song?"

And then the track started "A long, long time ago...."

37. It's worse than that.
Sheryl Crow playing D'yer Maker with an accordion. Next to a banjo, is there an eviler instrument?

I put rickrollers on ignore. This, while truthfully represented, is in a whole other category.

Who would know of such a thing?

53. meh...
... to each their own. When I say "like", I mean that I bought the record in '95 when it came out. I don't actually listen to many cds that I have anymore, because I can't stand most music, but I've got a soft spot for things that I liked the past (with the exception of Led Zeppelin, who are crooks, liars, cons, fish-rapists, and any other vile thing - they can rot in hell).

12. Metallica doing Whiskey in the Jar
I've always disliked metal bands, metal fans, metal metal. But I gave it musical credit because it is technically difficult AND usually these guys come up with original material.

When I heard this old Irish jig murdered by these assclowns, I just wanted to vomit.

No, really; despite the fact that there was a Brewer and Shipley pot-smoking song being covered on the Lawrence Welk show is profoundly weird, I thought they actually did a nice take of it. (And I haven't been smoking anything; I promise! haha)

Not a great song in the first place, but at least Dolly sang it with understated class.

Whitney sounded like she was on fire and was trying to use a shriek-activated extinguisher.
