Dion effort is 'worst ever cover version'

Celine Dion's version of an AC/DC track has been named the world's worst cover song by music professionals.

A panel at Total Guitar magazine described the version of 'You Shook Me All Night Long', played at a concert in Las Vegas, as a "musical offence".

Second on the list was Girls Aloud and Sugababes' cover of 'Walk This Way', originally by Run DMC and Aerosmith, while Westlife came third with their version of Extreme's 'More Than Words'.

The panel's favourite cover was the Jimi Hendrix interpretation of Bob Dylan's 'All Along The Watchtower'. The Beatles' 'Twist And Shout', originally from rock 'n' roll band The Top Notes, came second and Guns N' Roses were third with Wings' 'Live And Let Die'.

Total Guitar editor Stephen Lawson said the Dion song was "sacrilege", adding: "The best covers are unlikely choices and they do something radical.

"It's good to see that Hendrix still is number one. The first time you hear 'All Along The Watchtower', with that heavy vibe, it sounds like it's from another planet."
