Covering classics from the 80ies was a thing for nu-metal-related bands (or, more generally, for "alternative" bands in the late 90s, early 00s - Manson, Limp Bizkit, Korn..and so on). They could have their own thread - but please don't.
Korn rendition of Word Up is another awful song, but i don't like the original too
Limp Bizkit's cover of The Who is so absolutely fundamentally atrociously godawful that I can't even. I remember being a kid when it came out, and everyone around me thought it was just soooo good; they downloaded the original on limewire by a mistake and made fun of how old, lame, and "gay" it was, compared to the amazing Limp Bizkit version. The nu metal years—what a time to be alive.
i didn't know there was an original at first so I thought it was pretty good coming from limp bizkit
several years later i heard the original and holy shit, it's so much better
My god, i totally removed that cover from my mind, but as soon as i read this it instantly popped in my mind that terrible DJ-ing part that comes up instad of the bridge of the original one
Now i feel obliged to remind you all that they also covered Faith from Wham!
Also Disturbed covering Shout from Tears for Fears is another thing i'd happily remove from my ears.
I don't think it works anymore, but it was:

Some geezer named Vince Wallace covering Deep Purple covering It's A Beautiful Day covering Orkustra covering Vince Wallace. Can't even get the tune right, smh. Come on, Vince.

Although I like the song, the singer of badwolves seems to be channeling some
serious Dylan constipation/teeth clenched singing in the verse during their cover of 'Zombie'

This is pretty bad.
Has literally nothing that made the original, or Korn, good.
Also pre-emptively, shut up. The first two Korn albums were pretty damn unimpeachable back in the day, and they have got their fair share of bangers spread throughout their catalogue.

that's certainly a take
It's not as bad as I first thought but I wouldn't go so far as to call it good.

This entire trend of people sing-covering rap songs to jaunty tunes / acoustic guitar. Please no
