God with punish you for this blasphemy.

I think this is my most hated song in the history of all songs.

It's done by one of my most hated bands in the history of bands!

And how is Pearl Jam more hated than STP?

Good one!!! I didn't know this was a cover. This is one of my favorite songs.

I knew it was a cover, but I don't think I've ever heard the original. I love both Springsteen and 10,000 Maniacs. They are two of my favorites.

This is my very special gift to you

Oh! GNR Live and Let Die. I'm sure Boobs will agree on this one.

I agree, too. And their covers of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" and "Since I Don't Have You."

I can't believe, though, that I seem to be the only person who thinks Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" was godawful and that the shame of such a bad cover should follow him into the afterlife.

I also don't really like JC's version of Hurt, and I am a huge JC fan. It just didn't do it for me.

Oh, man. STP is one of my favorite bands. But I also love Pearl Jam, I just really hate that one song. I don't hate any of their other songs and have two of their albums, I think H has them all. Let's be friends. ({) (})

I am sad that so many people like Guns & Roses.

[Jalapeñomel]

Oh I like the cover of Don't Fear the Reaper by Gus better then the original by Blue Oyster Cult.

Although I love Wild Horses by the Stones, I also really enjoy the Sundays' version of it as well...although I cannot say that I like the cover better then the original.

Tamb, you're rad.

+1. GnR has been my favorite band since the third grade, except for a few years in the 90s when I was in to grunge.

I like the Stones' cover of Ain't Too Proud To Beg better than the Temptations' version.

Man Axl rose is crazy looking now.

lol. It was sooo overplayed. It's on my list of songs I'd be happy to never hear again. Along with fucking Two Princes by the Spin Doctors. Why? WHYYYY??

LMAO. Every time I hear this song I think about the Sarah Silverman episode where one of the gay dude was always like, "Gotta have my metal!" and listening to his iPod, but his partner found out Two Princes was the ONLY song on there. LOL!

[mamasaurus]

I've just never liked his voice, and I know what a creep he is IRL, so...yeah. Slash can really shred, though. I will give them that.

[urbancowgirl]

I saw Axl and "Guns n Roses" last year and I have to say that Axl sounded fabulous. The rest of the band, too. They went on stage an hour late, which both pissed me off and thrilled me. I had to work the next day, but I was excited to get the authentic Axl treatment.

You are all so wrong about Hurt. Johnny Cash is great but the original is....well, it just is.

I like both versions, actually. NIN's was much better, technically. Johnny Cash's version was more raw and emotional.

Most Bob Dylan...

And "Nothing Compares to You" -- Sinead's version is so much better than Prince (who I believe is the original).

That is one of my favorite all time songs and I don't care who knows it. The Sinead version. LOVE.

I have no idea if this has been mentioned and you all hate my taste in music anyway, so I'll put it out there: I loved Indigo Girls cover of Uncle John's Band

I agree. I adore Tom Petty but I have a special place in my heart for JM, even if he is a huge jerk.

I love the Willie Nelson cover of Coldplay's The Scientist.

I am also listening to Natalie Merchant right now because of this post.
