Songs that should never be covered

[RJKarl]

There are some songs that a perfect by the people who originally did them and should never be covered:

 

[EatLeadCommie]

for once, it's hard to argue with you. Even Clapton's acoustic cover of Layla sucks. Of course, the reason why that song is so great is not Clapton, but Duane Allman.

 

[EatLeadCommie]

and you can add pretty much any Van Halen song to this list, including their cover of You Really Got Me.

Aerosmith's cover wasn't terrible.

Devo's cover of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction is pretty fucking good.

 

[WakeandBake]

No song is too good to be covered that is preposterous and goes against the very spirit of rock music.

Aerosmith's cover wasn't terrible.

Aerosmith is terrible.
