Johnny Cash - Hurt, Westlife's - Uptown Girl and Bowie and Jaggers - Dancing in the Street are ones that spring to mind!
i'd say johnny cash's hurt is as good as the original, however uptown girl by westlife is terrible and bowie/jaggers dancing in the street is considered to be one of the worst covers around
Nerina Pallot's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart is the best cover I've ever heard. Hauntingly beautiful, and she sings every word like she wrote it herself.

Seriously?? I know it's all subjective, even the original Badfinger version is a million times better than that warbling version, however, the definitive version is Harry Nillson's.
It made me so angry once when some wanabee on X Factor tried to sing it, and it was introduced as the 'Mariah Carey classic' :eek:
