    I think Sheryl Crow should be beaten senseless for trying to remake Guns n' Roses "Sweet Child 'O Mine"

    Oh, and when I tried to google the Big & Rich thing...it came up that Celine Dion did a terrible remake of "You Shook me All Night Long" too.... I shudder!

    Rolf Harris doing Stairway to Heaven. I know where I'd like to stick his digereedo.

    Madonna's American Pie cover was bad, in my opinion

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

    I googled worst remakes and found a list showing Dolly Parton also did a Stairway cover. It was #3 of the guy's worst 100.

    I know there are a lot of people who love this cover...and many who prefer it over the original.

    I am not one of those people either.

    Rascal Flatts redid "Life is a Highway" - to me, if you are going to cover a song, make it your own. Here they pretty much mimicked the original.

    Aww, the poor Brady Bunch Kids are making some internet lists for remaking American Pie.

    Have to blame Marcia. She was probably out of tune. :laugh:

    Are you sure wasn't Peter's puberty voice that ruined it?

    OMG, William Shatner's Bohemian Rhapsody is way up there on my list. That man should not even attempt to sing! He's a horrible actor and an even worse singer.

    Metallica's Turn the Page didn't do it for me either, even though I like Metallica in general.

    OMG, I just got an idea for a reality show. I don't know if I should post it, or call a producer and pitch it to them.

    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.
