Having been inspired by the last thread can anyone think of a worse JD cover apart from Moby (New Dawn Fades) and Therapy? (Isolation) If anyone can I will buy a Bright Eyes album immediately
I haven't heard the Moby one, lord knows that clown can make you want to saw your own ears off... but I can't imagine it's worse than Paul Young's version of Love Will Tear Us Apart.
and dont forget NIN's version of Dead Souls - an unpolished turd of a cover
I ahd the Moby song on 'I lke to Score' some comp of his 'movie' songs - it was a free copy for review so please dont think I like him for Dickens' sake!
some people dislike that love will tear us apart piano version.
bis' version SHOULD by all rights be utterly shit, but its actually really, really good.
if robbie williams singing a bit of it at the brits counts, then surely that is the worst ever?
you could argue squarepusher's version (yet again of lwtua) is the worst cos its not nearly as fucked up as you might wish.
i also heard an emo band play transmission, which was vaguely acceptable.
i've always kind of liked the therapy cover, or at least i did the last time i listened to troublegum, which to be honest might be 2 or 3 years ago now. they also used to do a live cover of she's lost control as well i believe.
have to say joy division don't seem to be as covered as a lot of other bands, at least i can't really think of a JD cover thats been a huge success.
Probably gonna get tore to shreds for this, but erm i thought the New Order cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart performed at the NME awards was the most shocking cover i have ever heard!!
I'm a New Order fan (well the early early stuff), but come on guys, put it to bed!

It's every bit as bad as you think.
And what's worse is that when he sang it live, he sang an extra verse WHICH HE'D WRITTEN HIMSELF.
