I would love to hear George Jones do an album of classic soul ballads.

― Burr (Burr), Saturday, 10 May 2003 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

great idea. Jones and Paycheck doing Arthur Alexander's 'You Better Move On' is killer, you can't tell who is singing what.

there is an ongoing movement to convince lightning bolt to do "Wipeout"

Sleater-Kinney doing the Shangri-La's songbook.

― Charles McCain (Charles McCain), Monday, 9 June 2003 18:48 (twenty-three years ago)

look at nabisco's great resolution to current luda-prefuse tensions - proposed in the oh two!

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Monday, 9 June 2003 20:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I read once that Trey Anastasio tried to convince the rest of Phish to cover My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" for one of their Halloween complete-album cover shows, and they compromised on the Velvet Underground's "Loaded" instead.

Joan Jett--> Tube Snake Boogie

She already did "Tush" on "The Hit List."

But how do you top reality on a planet where Bob Dylan plays "Brown Sugar" and Dolly Parton sings "Stairway to Heaven"?

― Chris Clark (Chris Clark), Monday, 9 June 2003 20:18 (twenty-three years ago)

The White Stripes need to cover absolutely anything by Billy Childish. Wait, that's too obvious. Alternatively, today I was singing some song thinking how much it sounded like a Childish song, but I can't remember it now. D'oh.

― Pitchblender, Monday, 9 June 2003 21:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Yngwie Malmsteen covering Half Japanese's "Dream Date"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 9 June 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

the justus kohncke cover of "witchita lineman" is like something i'd come up with on one of my better days

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 9 June 2003 22:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Haha! If true, my respect for Anastasio grows greatly. What a missed opportunity.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 01:33 (twenty-three years ago)

"'Loveless' is the best album recorded in the '90s," Anastasio said. "History will tell, and 20 years from now that album will be considered a complete classic, while a lot of the albums that are real popular today will have been forgotten."

He also plays "Only Shallow" in his solo band.

― Chris Clark (Chris Clark), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 05:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Janis Joplin-->Derek & the Dominos, "Layla"
Jimi Hendrix-->Prince, "Sign O' The Times"

c.f. every lame, inaccurate and insulting review of us...

Beta Band--> Stockholm Monsters, "Five O'Clock"

― Adam A. (Keiko), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Nine Inch Nails doing the Police's "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"
(I can already hear Trent licking his chops for the "their Logic ties me up and Rrrrayyyyypppppeeeezzz me!" line.)
The only thing scarier than that would be Sting doing NIN covers. (Imagine Gordon Sumner positing the notion that he would like to fuck you like an animal and feel you from the inside.)

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

A cover I actually did hear in a dream once:

Jimmy Saville --> "Put away" by the fall.

(It was on the black Columbia label, 'fact' fans)

― Tom Breihan (Tom Breihan), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Primus doing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." That's something that I would have liked to have heard in 1993, at least.

Bjork covers Ween's "Pork Roll Egg & Cheese"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

the Strokes ---> Eno "Third Uncle" à la Bauhaus
The Bauhaus version of the song has that Strokes shuffle to it, and it's not that much of a stretch to imagine Julian Casablancas deadpanning "there were tins, there was pork, there were legs, there were sharks" or whatever the words are.

― Schwingung (Damian), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Kraftwerk ---> Adam and the Ants "Kings of the Wild Frontier"!!!!!!

Andrew WK ---> Dizzee Rascall "Fix Up Look Sharp"!!!!!!
Michael Jackson ---> Thin Lizzy "Don't Believe A Word"!!!!!!!
The Stereophonics ---> Tangerine Dream "Rubycon pt 1"!!!!! (At least it'll give Kelly's voice a rest!!!!!!)
Erm, I'm out of ideas!!!!!

― Old Fart!!! (oldfart_sd), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

six months pass...

James Brown circa '67 ---> Bob Dylan, "Ballad of a Thin Man" (Making it something like "Prisoner of Love." He could've changed Mr. Jones to Mrs. Jones, too.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 11:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Adult. – Die Matrosen by Lilliput

I would have like to hear Joy Divison covering "Hero" by Neu! Tell me that would not be totally awesome.

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Thursday, 24 June 2004 07:54 (twenty-one years ago)

It would certainly be quite surprising ...

― coco, Thursday, 24 June 2004 08:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, I was pretty fucking weird two and a half years ago. I have since refined my desire to hear a discofied cover of "Welcome to the Jungle" done completely a'la Gamble/Huff. That Slash echo-chamber guitar intro would sound murderous as an R&B string section.

I have also decided (thanks to a reminder of said song's existence via VH1 Classic) that The Alan Parsons Project's "Don't Answer Me" needs to be covered by the Beta Band as a proper farewell single.
