Most Overrated Rock Cover Songs

The Top Ten
1 Bohemian Rhapsody - Panic! at the Disco

Let's be real here, outside of really edgy teenagers and WonkeyDude98, who actually likes this? This isn't overrated.

One question. Why not just go for the original for Suicide Squad?

This is nowhere near the quality of the original

There are some things that you just DON'T COVER.

2 Hallowed Be Thy Name - Cradle of Filth

Not a fan of this cover. This song is very introspective and by adding death growls they really ruined the idea of this masterpiece. Growls are supposed to scare. The problem is that the character of this song is scared and doesn't want to scare anyone.

This is one of my least favorite covers of all time and yet its considered better than the orginal HA baloney this cover is trash and so is the band behind it who basically ruined one of the greatest songs ever made

Also if you want to listen to a much better cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name go listen to the Machine Head One it's a 1000x better than this awful pile of crap

Good lord this cover sucks and it's overrated! The music's decent but the vocals ruin it for me.

3 Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit

Horrible and this is the only reason songs off Results May Very were even played on the radio

4 Twist and Shout - The Beatles

I never liked this song and the cover isn't much better although its overrated mainly because people think it was actually by the beatles

5 Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin

It's mainly overrated due to the fact that LZ claimed that this song was their own when in reality it's a cover

6 Walk - Avenged Sevenfold

While its not the worst cover ever its very overrated because its nowhere near the original song

7 Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - Marilyn Manson
8 Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm
9 No Remorse - Cannibal Corpse

This ruins a great Metallica song

10 Bring the Noise - Anthrax
The Contenders
11 Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Guns N' Roses

This version is better than the Original at least I can stand Axl Rose can singing also he's "objectively" a better singer in terms of Vocal Range and destroys dylans range (he has around a 5 Octave range)

There are much better cover versions of this; Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, Grateful Dead, Cold Chisel and Warren Zevon actually kept the emotion in the song.

The original one by Bob Dylan is way better than the Guns N' Roses cover.

12 Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Still an amazing rendition, but it misses the desperate emotion of Leonard Cohen's original, especially by ignoring the original version's final verse, and at points, over-singing.

13 Hurt - Johnny Cash
14 You Really Got Me - Van Halen
15 Come Together - Aerosmith
