I'm glad to see responses from you guys, both good and bad. I don't care for some of these myself, but these were the ones that came to mind while I was preparing the list.
Now for my responses:
1. "I'm A Believer"---Smash Mouth
I actually don't mind it; 3.5
2. "Fly Like An Eagle"---Seal
It's okay; 3
3. "Big Yellow Taxi"---Counting Crows
Not my favorite, but it's tolerable. 3.5
4. "Always Something There To Remind Me"---Naked Eyes
I never knew this was a cover until maybe 5 or 6 years ago (altho I've never heard the original (by RB Greaves)); 5
5. "Mony Mony"---Billy Idol
4.5
6. "The Way You Do The Things You Do"---UB40
4
7. "Boys Of Summer"---The Ataris
Don't much care for it. :P Henley's version rocks. 1.5
8. "Is She Really Going Out With Him"---Sugar Ray
Don't really care for this one either. 2 I have only heard the original one time; has some similarities.
9. "You Really Got Me"---Van Halen
I like both the original and the remake. 4.5
10. "Love Rollercoaster"---Red Hot Chili Peppers
I'd have to say 4 here. Seems more enjoyable than the original.
11. "Knock On Wood"---Amii Stewart
I used to like it, now I think it's so-so. 3 She turned out to be a one hit wonder with that song, by the way.
12. "Wild Night"---John Mellencamp
I like the cover better than the original. 4.25
13. "All By Myself"---Celine Dion
Not my cup of tea. 1
14. "You Make Me Feel Brand New"---Simply Red
Uh..I don't care too much for it. Mick Hucknall made it sound so drab; 2.
15. "Funkytown"---Pseudo Echo
Like this version much better than the original. 5
16. "Always On My Mind"---Pet Shop Boys
5. Again, much better than the original. :)
17. "Don't Dream It's Over"---Sixpence None The Richer
I agree with most of you guys; this one aint good at all. 1.75
18. "Killing Me Softly (With His Song)"---The Fugees
2.5 I know the Fugees' version is actually called "Killing Me Softly", but I put the whole title for clarity purposes.
19. "La Bamba"---Los Lobos
4
20. "Mrs. Robinson"---The Lemonheads
4
21. "Sweet Child O Mine"---Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow has some good music, but I don't think she really had to cover GnR's biggest hit. 1.5 Haven't heard it in a couple of years though.
22. "Everybody Plays The Fool"---Aaron Neville
5 I'm actually very fond of this version.
23. "I Can See Clearly Now"---Jimmy Cliff
Ten years ago I didn't mind it, but then I started to get bored with it. 3
24. "Lean On Me"---Club Nouveau
eh, it’s ok; 3.25
25. "Cruisin'"---Huey Lewis/Gwyneth Paltrow
5+! I just heard it on the radio not too long ago; I loved it. I do not know the original, though.
