      The defense rests.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                Sublime seemed like a good choice to play today:

                Early in the morning, rising to the street
                Light me up that cigarette and strap shoes on my feet
                Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
                Got to find the reason why my money's all gone
                I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high
                I can play the guitar like a mother f-cking riot

                  Worst covers? The previous nominations were amateur hour. I give you:

                  Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
                  Jessica Simpson - These Boots are Made for Walkin - Nancy Sinatra
                  Avril Lavigne - Imagine - John Lennon
                  Miley Cyrus - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
                  Britney Spears - I love Rock N Roll - Joan Jett
                  Korn - Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
                  Hillary Duff - My Generation - The Who
                  Tom Jones - Kiss - Prince
                  Limp Bizkit - Faith - George Michael (which coincidentally leads to)

                  What might possibly be the worst cover ever (unless you live in a cave and neer heard the original):
                  George Michael - True Faith - New Order

                    Very honorable nominations, for sure. I'd put the LB "Faith" up there with the Crow/Madonna covers as worst ever. For me, what makes the Crow/Madonna covers the worst is the legendary status of the originals in the first place.

                      My Generation, Another Brick in the Wall, Imagine, Behind Blue Eyes and Smells Like Teen Spirit qualify for legendary. I realize I'm fighting an unrelenting uphill battle of stubborn so we'll agree to disagree.

                        I will admit I haven't heard a couple of those covers (and even though it'd be for "research" I refuse to look up those covers). However, knowing your music knowledge, I do respect your submissions, and will give you a "bro-nod" on the horrible-ness of said covers.

                          I like Korn's version of Another Brick in the Wall, but it doesn't come close to the original. It was just interesting to hear a harder version of it.

                            The ones in red were links. Seriously you should listen to the George Michael cover of True Faith. It's hideous.

                            The others:

                            Behind Blue Eyes

                            Boots are made for Walking

                            Imagine

                            I Love Rock and Roll

                            My Generation

                            Another Brick in the Wall - this one truly offended me

                            Faith - this one is complete garbage

                            Kiss

                            Given your fondness for Jett I thought you'd find that one particularly hideous.

                              I have heard the Faith cover, and it's puke-worthy. It's not even a bad cover, it's no talent whatsoever. I'm divided on Jett, btw. Her stance on the (relatively) recent movies on the Runaways, one really good, one really bad, made me lose some respect.

                                When the metal band Shadows Fall or some such thing covered Welcome to the Machine, I nearly lost it. I was driving, so I had to hold it together. Why the hell 93x was on, I'll never know.
