exAtyeoMax Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Without doubt the worst cover EVER! I can’t state in words how much I detest this song, I can’t listen to it for more than one and a half seconds. Apparently, at one stage, the most popular song played at funerals. If anyone ever played it at mine, I’d haunt them for the rest of their days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant agree with that, the abovementioned Bauhaus did a sublime 100pmh version of Telegram Sam. Actually I liked their Ziggy Stardust as well, great crunchy guitar sound. Sorry!

RumRed Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Oasis - Heroes. No point as they didn’t change the tone of the song at all, just put ******* crap vocals over a poorly played version of it. The worst kind of cover, you have to do a cover in a different style not just do the original version worse, otherwise what’s the ******* point? The prosecution rests m’lud. And yes it still boils my piss to this day. You can probably tell. And Blur > Oasis I will give the Oasis fans though: Oasis > Menswear. But Menswear truly were ******* awful.

Ok for Live Aid but two of Rock’s greatest stars chose to sing a song which did absolutely nothing for their voices or the song itself . It was , frankly , an embarrassment. Not to mention that neither Bowie nor Jagger are anything close to being ‘ dancers ‘ What à waste of talent and time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
