    I hate the futureheads cover of Hounds of Love. It just rubs me the wrong way. I also have very little time for Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.

    Probably the two best covers of all time....cash because he lived it and Hounds of love because it's not just a re-hash it's they made it their own

    I disagree. Cash popularised it. Countless people have lived it to me the fact cash had some troubles is irrelevant. I also hate how he twists the lyrics. Johnny you've done some truly awful thing but now won't say the word sh-it, are you afraid it won't make it onto daytime radio if you do?

    hounds of love is just terrible. the oh oh oh's grate on me beyond belief.

    Oh dear.

    Mind you, It must be great to get paid millions to do a bit of karaoke for a large crowd of idiots.

    I'd say those lads laugh their ásses off when the show is finished.

    Still facking hate the kuntz though.

    when i worked in Marks and Spencer they had some terrible covers playing in the shop. Macy Gray doing 'walking in a winterwonderland' is terrible and was played nearly 20 times a day at christmastime. Plus there was a terrible cover of 'two of us' made famous by the beatles. Not sure who did the terrible cover version

    Ah, they're the same feckers who did a shocking version of "Don't Leave Me This Way". Seems bad covers was a specialty for them.
