I still kinda enjoy No Need for a Name's cover.

So... I was listening to some random cover of Bowie's Sorrow in Whole Foods which led me to The Erin Orchestra's covers and their wretched version 8) of Fool to Cry.

Bowie's Sorrow was not Bowie's. It was a cover of the Mersey's version of the McCoy's original.

Recent first exposure for me to ZZ Top's version of I Thank You merits addition to the worst cover hall of fame.

Yes, I saw all the covers and the original. This particular attempt was clearly mimicking Bowie's rendition, though.

I hate everything about ZZ Top and don't care when people say there's a great guitarist in that godawful mess.

I'd rather go to a Bob Seger show. :lol:
