Duran Duran have contributed a few guff efforts in the covers stakes. They all stem from the Thank You covers album with particular lowlights including "Success", "The Crystal Ship". "Lay Lady Lay" and "Thank You". Definitely a contender for albums that should never have been made.

The standout track on that album for me was 911 is a Joke, a song about the lack of response to emergency calls in black neighbourhoods. Sung by Simon Le Bon.

As much as I think he's brilliant....Gary Numan's cover of "U got the look" by Prince.....ah mean, come on Gary.

In a similar vein, much as I love The Pogues, their version of Honky Tonk Woman is truly appalling. Strange, because they've done several other excellent covers.

Neither of these two are anywhere as bad as Teenage Kicks by Skunk Anansie, mind.
