Best/worst cover songs?

BLABBERMOUTH.NET - CELINE DION's Version Of AC/DC's 'You Shook Me' Is 'Worst Cover' Of All Time

In light of the two atrocities featured in this article...there's got to be more really good and really bad covers out there.

Among the best? Paint it Black by Earth Crisis.

Worst? Anything by UB40

Best? I Will Survive by Cake.

Worst? Downtown Train by Rod Stweart.

Sorry Ringo but Joe Cocker's "Help from my Friends" is better.
