Celine Dion is responsible for the world's worst cover song, according to music experts. The Canadian singer received the ignominious title for her rendition of the AC/DC track You Shook Me All Night Long. Dion, 40, has never released the song as a single but performed the "musical offence" at a Las Vegas concert six years ago. A Sugababes and Girls Aloud version of Walk This Way, which had been a huge hit for Aerosmith and rappers Run DMC, came second. Westlife's 1999 cover of the ballad More Than Words by rock band Extreme was third in the list compiled by Total Guitar magazine. Will Young's cover of The Doors' Light My Fire, which reached Number One in 2002, and an easy listening arrangement by The Mike Flowers Pops of Oasis ballad Wonderwall completes the top five. Experts also delivered a verdict on the most successful cover versions. Jimi Hendrix's cover of the Bob Dylan song All Along the Watchtower topped the list, followed by The Beatles' rendition of Twist and Shout, first recorded by the Top Notes. The Guns N' Roses version of the Wings' song Live and Let Die, Nirvana's cover of The Man Who Sold the World by David Bowie, and Muse's Feeling Good, made famous by Nina Simone, are also in the top five. http://musicnews.virginmedia.com/news/?news_id=73223 |

Doing a cover version of a classic song is like walking through a minefield , generally it's best to steer clear of them.

I find most covers of Bob Dylan records better than the originals. The Byrds been the prime example. |
|
Time to move on I suppose. Where to,though? | |
