Music remakes

[BladeRunner]

Heard this a few days ago and its friggin awful

 

Destiny's child's reincarnation of Samantha Sang & the Bee Gee's 70s hit .....Emotion ... It sounds bloody horrible ,I wish today's groups would stop copying the classic old songs ..

 

Madonna's Remake of Don McLean's American pie also makes my skin crawl when I hear it.

 

Any more anybody ???? I'm sure there are loads . <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

I used to like Unchained Melody until it was done to death by every wannabe singer.

Disturbed's version of "Land of Confusion" is rather incredible. It is one of the instances where I prefer the remake.

Just thought of two more . Young one's Neil who remade Traffic's Hole in my shoe was ghastly .

 

Billy connolly's Remake of Tammy Winnette's D I V O R C E was the best remake of all time. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applaus.gif" alt="" />
