Before I say this…let me clarify…I LOVE Chris Cornell and I LOVE the GNR song Patience… but his cover of that song sucks big time.

Any of these modern covers that slow the song down to a dirge and have some mumbling woman giving it the neo-R&B treatment.

This x1000. T.V. commercials do this all the time to classic songs. It’s horrible.

I absolutely prefer the original, but I don't think Cornell's is THAT bad.

I anticipate getting downvoted into oblivion, but I think Disturbed’s cover of The Sound of Silence is just god awful.

Somehow I preferred his cover of Nothing Compares To You over his version of Patience.

Disturbed: Sound of Silence


Why people freaked out over this cover is beyond me, and I accept all of the incoming downvotes.

This came to my mind originally but then I recalled that I don't think the original is great.

Any classic song where some dipshit adds a Boom Boom Boom track behind it, i.e. Lean On Me
