Wait .... What's the premise? The song was ruined by the cover song or made famous?

I would argue that Darius Rucker did not ruin Wagon Wheel, he just did it differently than the original band., who seem just fine with his version.

Shinedown absolutely ruined Simple Man. Lawsuits should have rained down behind that.

Cheryl Crow's cover of "Sweet Child O' Mine" sucks, as does Madonna's cover of "American Pie".

Johnny Cash took NIN's 'Hurt' to the point that its video was the soundtrack of the autobiography of his life.

Trent Reznor agrees with you. He said when he heard Johnny Cash's version that the song became Johnny's. |

FFDP did a great cover and the video they did when they toured Iraq redefined that song for me.
And yes, I rocked to the original when I was in college.
