Yeah, I know KidzBop is for toddlers and kids, yadda yadda yadda, but I grew up with the first few KB's. And man were they shit.
The problem with this is the newer ones weren't as dreadful (painful to the ears) as the older ones, but the songs have gotten so inappropriate it's not even worth mentioning after the 13th installment. By then I was a teenager, young adult and half the songs covered were terrible to begin with.
So without further ado, my top listings for Awful KidzBop covers

So without further ado, my top listings for Awful KidzBop covers
1. All the Small Things- originally by Blink 182
my opinion is that the man's vocals are terrible, and they ruined one of my favorite songs by Blink, and a childhood staple, ugh this cover isn't worth a poop. or my time.
2. Higher- originally by Creed
When you make a Creed song or Creed in general sound like Mozart, then you have a problem. From the vocals of the Blink 182 man, this one was pretty embarrassing to say the least.
3. Never Let You Go- Third Eye Blind
I'll admit, I've never even knew this cover or the Creed cover existed until today (2.9.15). But Third Eye Blind is not appropriate at all for children under 13 in my honest opinion.
4. Bring Me to Life- Evanescence
I may be biased on this one, as a diehard Amy Lee and Evanescence Fan. The vocals in place that covers Paul McCoy's vocals is horrendous. that "rUFF" at around 2:50 is hilarious, but the main vocal isn't bad but still, the children were awful.
5. My Immortal- Evanescence
Not gonna say much, as I am biased.
6. Wake Me Up When September Ends- Green Day
Probably the worst song they ever did, or thought of doing because this was a tribute to Billie Joe Armstrong's dad who passed away from Cancer? when Billie was 10. Pitiful pitiful decision Razor and Tie.
7. When It's Over- Sugar Ray
Once again that asshole from the Blink cover makes an appearance. Sigh. This guy never takes the hint of he's awful. Mark Mcgrath should hear this out of pure comedy. This was one of my favorite Sugar Ray songs of all time, especially when I was in the third/fourth grade. 2001-2002 ish.
8. The Anthem- Good Charlotte
I'm gonna rant for the fact they left out the "shake it once is fine, shake it twice it's okay, shake it three times you're playing with yourself again" part. oops. spoiler. And how Allmusic said this was punk energy for the kids. Wrong. I listened to the original when I was 9.
9. Headstrong- Trapt
Ugh. No words. Why is a harder rock song on a KidzBop CD? very contradicting. and very mismatched. And the vocals are horrid.
10. Someday- Nickelback
I'm surprised I'm giving praise to Nickelback. But another case of an inappropriate song for kids. The beginning of the song is a perfect example. I do actually like Nickelback's version in all honesty.
disHONORABLE MENTIONS
1. Toxic - Britney Spears
2. 1985- Bowling For Soup
3.Boulevard of Broken Dreams- Green Day
4. Feel Good Inc.- Gorillaz
5. Pump it- Black Eyed Peas
6. Boston- Augustana
7. The Whole Beatles Tribute Album
8. Party Like a Rockstar- Shop Boyz
9. Starships- Nicki Minaj
10. Tie between Blue- Eiffel 65 and Believe- Cher
5. My Immortal- Evanescence
