Unless I'm missing something, where is there a link to go to another page to view the rest of the list?

I think it's a work in progress. New songs will be added as time goes on.

I can't get to the link from work but I hope the following made the cut:
Paint It Black - Vanessa Carlton
The Cure's Love Song - 311
Anarchy In The UK - Motley Crue

Strongly disagree, this is one of my favorite Crue songs and favorite Vince Neil vox.

Tia Carrea is amazingly hot in that waynes world thing.

but she looks geeky playing the bass.

Motley Crue's version is MUCH better than the Pistols. The Pistols sucked.....THAT is undeniable. Maybe the worst group ever. Even worse than Dokken.

Agree that the Pistols original version sucks. But Megadeth's version on "So Far..." blows
the Crue away. Mustaine's 'snarl' makes Vince sound like a multi-tracked, over-produced bitch

Now don't laugh at me JoePa, but one of my fave Crue tracks
comes off of the Swine album... Actually 2 of my fave Crue tracks:
Find Myself and Affraid, which to me had a little Cheap Trick vibe goin' on

I nominate Van Halen's cover of "Dancing in the Streets". Sounds like they tried to mix new wave/rock and it didn't work very well, in my opinion.

Wouldn't do it to ya... Gen Swine is underrated, maybe a little before it's time.

LOVE Find Myself, dig Afraid a lot and of course the super cool Beauty. Took me a while to figure out that was Vince on vox, but it is.

"(Oh) Pretty Woman" sounded like shit, too.

I love all the covers on that "Diver Down" album except that particular song.

I made a full stop at Mae West's "Twist and Shout". :shock:

Sweet Jesus.Why?

Hollywood's Yoko Ono... :roll:

Did Def Leppard's entire last album make this list? :lol:

I'm nominating Tuesday's Gone by Metallica. Fucking HORRIBLE version of the song.
