Britney Spears' version of I Love Rock 'N' Roll has been named the worst cover version of all time.

The singer released Joan Jett's track in 2002 but music fans were unimpressed with Spears' rendition - NME readers have voted it their least favourite cover.

Ronan Keating's Fairytale of New York by The Pogues came second in the shameful survey, while Celine Dion's version of AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long was named third.

Muse's rendition of Feeling Good by Nina Simone was branded the best cover of recent years in the poll.

The 10 worst cover versions of all time are:

1. Britney Spears - 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll'
2. Ronan Keating - 'Fairytale of New York'
3. Celine Dion - 'You Shook Me All Night Long'
4. Take That - 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'
5. M People - 'Itchycoo Park'
6. Robbie Williams - 'Song 2'
7. Will Young - 'Light My Fire'
8. Madonna - 'American Pie
9. Limp Bizkit - 'Faith'
10. Mark Ronson - 'No One Knows'

It amazes me that some people still believe Joan Jett did the original version. :rolleyes:
