13 Worst Cover Songs Of All Time
4. Fall Out Boy - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Fall Out Boy have had a fairly successful career since the release of their breakout album ‘From Under The Cork Tree’ in 2005 and still remain relevant to this day.
Their musical sound has evolved over the years and seen them experiment with different genres, all with a relatively consistent level of success.
However, one thing the band has shown that they do not do well is cover versions. Their most notable cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ was passable at best, while other attempts have been simply atrocious.
Their version of Joy Division's classic ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ is one of the biggest crimes against music in recent times and fails to capture any of the raw emotion that was so pivotal in the original.
