Covers That Might Make You Cover Your Ears

With news breaking today that Arctic Monkeys have covered Amy Winehouse for Radio 1’s, ‘Live Lounge’ album we thought we’d trawl the internet to find other covers to stare at. 

Like all covers, some that just shouldn’t work, do, and ones that you think should be a natural reinterpretation just turn out making you wish you were deaf. 

These are some of the better ones...

Johnny Cash – ‘Hurt’ (Nine Inch Nails)The Futureheads – ‘Hounds Of Live’ (Kate Bush)


The Killers – Shadowplay (Joy Division)


Amy Winehouse – ‘Valerie’ (The Zutons)

This is just the start. Got any better or even WORSE ones? Post them in the comments section below.
