Artists That Should Never Ever Be Covered. Ever.
el_Presidente:
I have heard some terrible Nirvana covers in my day. So much so that a guy I know who works a local club wrote a cease and desist style letter to a band that played a particularly shitty cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

When I was sitting in a diner.
It was so shocking that even I cannot believe it had happened.
It was indeed a Kenny G cover of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful."
I almost shat myself, it was so bad.

You know...am I the only one who thinks that a Dropkick Murphys version of that song might not be too bad?
In any case, I know it's well-liked, but the first time I heard the Cake cover of "I Will Survive," my head nearly exploded.

I don't think any band is really off-limits, but artists need to stop putting out horrible covers. The My Chemical Romance and the Used's version of "Under pressure" is among the worst casualties of covers I've ever heard. I'd rather Tom Waits, radiohead, and most other artists/bands with unique voices not be touched because frankly their songs feel naked without them. Of course, if a really good band/singer does a cover and makes it awesome, then I'll be pleased, but usually it doesn't work out that way.

Cover everyone mercilessly, but know that people will hate you if you screw up.
