    oh, and.....Brooks and Dunn butchering The Eagles "Best of My Love"
    hahaha...I don't even like to hear myself signing along WITH the Eagles.....and I WILL shush someone during "Desperado" (like on Seinfeld) :laugh:

    I just don't think remakes of great songs by great bands have much reason to exist!

    I would not put anything Killdozer has done on this list.

    And I must agree with the disagreement in that the Cash version was very very good.

    On the subject of remakes....I wanted to slap Johnny Depp in the face repeatedly when I saw his version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

    YES
    YES
    &
    YES!!!

    No One could replace Gene Wilder in that role.........I have never watched the remake - two minutes into it (on cable), I was DONE.

    And what they hell are they doing remaking:

    Total Recall
    SPIDERMAN (SERIOUSLY????????? AGAIN??)

    I'm not a fan of country, but the techno remake of "The Dance" that some chic sings is HORRIBLE!

    Conversely, Garth Brooks cover of the Billy Joel song "Shameless" and Aerosmith's "Fever" are also equally bad

    I beg to differ. I thought Shameless was great.

    I like Johnny Cash....but I absolutely HATED his remake of NIN's Hurt.

    Oh, I must disagree.........have you ever watched the video? That song really shook me - the emotion was so raw.

    I actually really liked that cover too!

    I loved the cover, too. I thought Cash's voice suited that song much better.

    I liked both versions of Wonka, and if it wasn't for all the dentist/father backstory, Burton's version stays truer to the book.
    I don't have an opinion on Total Recall.
    I can't wait to see the new Spider-Man movie. I never liked Maguire in that role and I'm cautiously optimistic for this version.

    I saw the new Spiderman today, it is seriously way better than the first one.
