10 Worst Hard Rock Cover Songs Of All Time

10. Leader of the Pack - Twisted Sister

Twisted Sister was never a group that you were really supposed to take seriously. There was no way anyone was looking for thoughtful music coming out of a band that looked like bikers in drag, but it all seemed good as long as the music kicked ass. However, the moment these make-up clad badasses actually got some money behind them, everything went south really fast.

Uninspired after finally reaching the big time, vocalist Dee Snider decided to follow up the Sisters' phenomenal album Stay Hungry with Leader of the Pack, which turned them into a caricature from the minute it started playing. Make no mistake, Twisted Sister had always been over the top, but no one was really asking for the guys behind classic music videos like I Wanna Rock to pay tribute to one of the more forgettable girl groups of the '60s.

The original version of this tune may have been a nice slice of pop rock for its time, but it makes for absolute artistic murder when it's coming from a 6 foot brute clad in makeup from head to toe, looking like he could assault you if he really wanted to. Twisted Sister are fun, fast and loud, but they are anything but eclectic, and this song proves that in spades. Nice try... now please pick a different decade.
