If you released an album of covers, what would be on it? (2 Viewers)

[Grobus]

Assuming your musical ability (or lack of it in my case) was no barrier.

Heres mine:

1. The Velvet Underground - Stephanie Says
2. Bjork - Play Dead
3. Tom Petty - Learning to Fly
4. Weezer - Buddy Holly
5. The Velvet Underground and Nico - Venus in Furs
6. Tracy Chapman - Fast Car
7. Joy Division - Ceremony
8. Ben Folds Five - Mess
9. The Smiths - Shiela Take a Bow
10. Outkast - Spottieoddiedopaliscious
11. Bob Dylan - Desolation Row
12. The Beatles - Mean Mr Mustard medley
13. My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes

Just looking over that now I realise the song order is terrible and they probably wouldnt work together as an album unless I seriously reworked them, but meh.

 

[mmm_sofay]

simple plan and lindsay lohan for sure.
maybe bec cartwright aswell.

... i'd second that if i had any tracks left

 

[thejosiekiller]

i know this is hypothetical- how would u do a cover of teardrop? im curious do u imagine anything different?

 

[absolution*]

all nick cave and mark lanegan covers because i cant sing anything else well...

 

[kittycat552]

No, i imagine a few ales in me and doing the karaoke thing... who knows how teardrop would sound. Personally, i wouldn't want it any other way than the massive attack way ... maybe i should scrap it LOL

 

[thejosiekiller]

haha fair enough- can u do the vocals though/? sorry im a massive attack fan

absolution- you dont have the perfect voice to do the cover- it might have a unique sound with a different voice

2) Grinspoon - angel in the sand
3) Gyroscope - are you getting any better?
