Rolling Stone did a random poll to see what cover songs infuriated their readership the most. I'm not at all surprised to report that the majority have come courtesy of female pipes. Lung pipes, yis dorty so n' sos. For example, Britney Spears is in there twice.
And the top ten list goes thusly:
1. Miley Cyrus - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
2. Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes (The Who)
3. Madonna - American Pie (Don McLean)
4. Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns N' Roses
5. Britney Spears - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (Rolling Stones)
6. Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson)
7. Britney Spears - I Love Rock & Roll (Joan Jett)
8. Avril Lavigne - Imagine (John Lennon)
9. Jessica Simpson - These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Nancy Sinatra)
10. William Shatner - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (The Beatles)
Well, several cadavers spinning in their graves there. There is one glaring omission, however... Ellie Gouhhhhllding's warbling, whaaarhbling, waaahaaaarhaaarblinnghiiing rendition of Elton John's Your Song.
Wrrroohooonnghiinnng!
