the de-rocking of indie rock is a whole different issue, and would make for a good discussion though i have to imagine that it's been discussed on ilm in some thread at some point before

Song you would most like to hear covered by artist of your choice.
I couldn't think of a more concise title. But anyways, I thought of this thread because I really wanted to hear The Fiery Furnaces cover Mother Whale Eyeless by Eno. Damn, I think that would be such a good song.
What would be your fantastical song/band combination?

You can't be called "our work is never over" and then (bad) post a picture of Daft Punk and then (worse) actually SAY Daft Punk and then (worst of all) change it to fucking Fierey Furnacese!!! The rules are there for a reason.

What about Working For A Nuclear Free City? They're a good modern indie band.
(note: the rason they aren't on the list is because they've only got one album at this point, which I don't think is enough for a band that is still going)

Don't you have to be a bit of a derr-brain to call your band Carcass? Why would you want your fans to think of corpses when they say your name? Surely corpses = bad?
