The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: A Trio of Cover Songs

Author adam12

Here are three cover songs of varying quality for you to take a look at and decide which one is good, which one is bad, and which one is ugly.

 

We’ll start with Toni Cornell, daughter of the late Chris Cornell, covering her dad’s Temple Of The Dog song “Hunger Strike.” (hint: this one’s good)

 

Next up, we have Boston-based musician and producer Kenny Gray covering Def Leppard‘s “Hysteria” in a decidedly different style. He explained his approach to Vanyaland. (hint: actually, this one’s not bad; just unexpected)

 

Lastly, here’s a clip that’s been making the rounds for the last few days: Puddle Of Mudd covering Nirvana‘s acoustic version of “About A Girl.” (hint: yes, it’s ugly–but I’m not convinced that Wes Scantlin isn’t trolling all of us)
