Songs which should NEVER be covered
list the songs that amateur bands should NEVER cover at gigs
these can be the songs that are just bad in general or are the classics that shouldnt be atempted. Im going to kick it off by listing the 2 obvious ones:
(If you happen to have covered any that appear in this list you should feel bad... unless it was a dam good cover) edit: Thought I'd make this list after headlining a gig tonight and the first support band doing incredibly bad covers of:

I don't think its about the song it's about whether it's been done before, I've seen plenty of average covers of either song, participated in a few myself but I would be interested to see a reggae version of either (or at least something new)
I don't think it's the song that's sacred it's tired overused ideas that annoy me personally. Edit: **** that ^^^ he's right hallelujah is a no go.

Fact: there are at least 1459 covers of that song that are better than the original.

Every cover of it has been worse >.< Everyone goes on about Jeff Buckleys too, and it sucks, the song doesn't sound right without Leonard Cohens big voice.

Jeff Buckley's cover does suck, but it's still better.

thats a very good point. I totally agree with the reggae cover ideas but I still think certain songs are sacred. because some bands can just ruin a song for you.

Of all the Nirvana songs you could cover, this would be the worst one to cover. They have way better songs and it just sounds really bad when you try to do a proper cover of this song. Also, people who decide to cover Sublime and their first thought is "What I Got"
