Rotten/Rockin' Remake: There was a song a few years ago called Grey Sky Morning (Best I Ever Had) by a group called Vertical Horizon. It was a mournful song that sounded pretty (even if it was a ballad). Now Gary Allan, a country singer, has remade it and it sounds like a mournful country song. It sounds quite similar to the original but with a country twang. I don't like it; it's worse than the original.

A remake I am enjoying is Melissa Etheridge's remake of the song Refugee, originally done by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. She of course has her own sound and sings the song in a way that gives it new meaning and importance (factor that in with the fact that she recently came through breast cancer and it's a homerun hit all over again).
