Do you all agree?

Usual pop stuff for worst covers, seems to be an okay NME list

I'd pump Jeff Buckley up 7 spots and bump Muse down a bunch of spots.

I like the top10 worst covers list :awesome:

 

^ Agree, I think Jeff Buckley's cover should be in first place :angry: Although I like Muse's Feeling Good cover

The Beatles should've had some more postitions there... they were great at covers in their early days

Muse's 'Feeling Good' deserves the top spot! It is really amazing!

My Generation -The Who
