Cover Your Ears!

Posted Mon 23 Jun 2008 2:18PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist

Readers of Total Guitar magazine have voted Celine Dion's version of the AC/DC track ‘You Shook Me All Night Long' as the worst cover version of all time.

Will Young's massacre of The Door's 'Light My Fire' and Mike Flowers take on Oasis' 'Wonderwall' also feature in the top 5.

Jimi Hendrix's version of ‘All Along The Watch Tower' by Bob Dylan was voted as the best.

You can watch Celine's ear-splitting rendition in the video below.

this is bad but what about the sugababes version of 'walk this way'?

I read about this poll a few days ago and decided to check out the list of best and worst for myself. What a shocker that readers of 'Total Guitar' magazine have voted the best covers to be those done by bands lead by strong guitarists. Conversely the list of worst covers is mainly pop vocalists. Agreed there are some terrible cover versions out there but get some perspective people. Just because someone decides to sing an iconic tune without a huge guitar solo, doesn't make it bad. Open your ears and minds please.
