Miley Cyrus' cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' named worst ever

Miley Cyrus' cover of Nivana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' has been voted the worst cover song of all time by readers of Rolling Stone. 

The teen star has been throwing a few cover versions into her set during her recent Gypsy Heart tour, but her attempt at the grunge anthem has been outed as the very worst. 

Following closely behind at No.2 was Limp Bizkit's cover of 'Behind Blue Eyes', which was originally by The Who, and Madonna's version of 'American Pie' came in third. 

The top ten is as follows:

  1. Miley Cyrus 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'
  2. Limp Bizkit 'Behind Blue Eyes'
  3. Madonna 'American Pie'
  4. Sheryl Crow 'Sweet Child O' Mine'
  5. Britney Spears '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'
  6. Alien Ant Farm 'Smooth Criminal'
  7. Britney Spears 'I Love Rock & Roll'
  8. Avril Lavigne 'Imagine'
  9. Jessica Simpson 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin''
  10. William Shatner 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'
