OK, I know bad cover versions are the norm for chart acts these days, but what about bands that shouldn't be producing awful covers?

My vote goes to Faith No More for a truly terrible version of Lionel Richie's "Easy".

Band Aid wasn't that good of a song anyway.

It gets the award for worst cover and worst performance. Ever.

Although Rolf Harris's Stairway to Heaven cover was, erm, interesting.

They did that with their tongue firmly in their cheek - did you see the video?

The worst cover I can think of right now is the second version of the Band Aid single featuring Kylie, Jason Donovan, Sonia etc.

No wait, I think the worst cover ever has to be Clock (I think) with their techno-nonsense version of 'Doo Wah Diddy'. Check it out and you'll see what I mean.

Daphne and Celeste, for trying to turn the hard rock anthem "School's Out" by Alice Cooper into a pop song. That hurt my ears muchly, as did Avril Lavigne's attempt at System Of A Down's "Chop Suey".
