The Spaghetti Incident, being the worst album ever, contains the worst covers ever. Aside from that, the most disgraceful wretched covers I've heard in my life have been done by actors. To the fiery pits with the whole bunch of 'em and their atrocities:
Robert Downey, Jr. - Joni Mitchell's "River"
Kevin Spacey - John Lennon's "Mind Games"
Juliette Lewis - PJ Harvey's "Hardly Wait"
A notable exception is Robert Sean Leonard's take on Wilco's "The Lonely 1", which is actually very decent.
