Worst Cover Version of a Song Ever: Number 6 Special Edition…

Love Will Tear Us Apart. A Classic. A Karaoke Killer.

It seems so many artists think they can do justice and homage to this piece of masterful music.

Of the three below, I just can’t decide which one is worse…

First up is Paul Young…

Then here is a live performance from Arcade Fire and U2…

Then we have Nouvelle Vague’s take on it…my personal favourite for worst version

Now this is all subjective, but I think this version by Jose Gonzalez is very decent…

And citizen watt likes this version by Susanna and The Magical Orchestra from their excellent Melody Mountain album which also includes covers of Crazy, Crazy Nights by Kiss, and AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock and Roll) in the same style…
