Dreamin' Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 What band or solo artist (living or dead) do you think would be able to pull off a good Wilco cover? I think Sloan (with Jay Ferguson on vocals) would do a great version of "Candyfloss." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MeDave Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 its an obvious choice but i'd love to hear late 80s era REM do some - Mike Mills and Michael Stipe harmonizing on late greats or a green style mandolin/accordian soaked version of more like the moon...

Wilco LP #7 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Band playing Hell Is Chrome... Danko on the vocals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Four Tops doing "Is That The Thanks I Get"... have them record it in late 1964 with Benny Benjamin and James Jamerson driving the beat, and it's a #1 Motown hit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ooh, these are good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MeDave Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 and, i always used to think that since its the love child of exile anyhow i'd love to hear the exile era stones redo the entirety of being there. (keith taking lead vocals on say you miss me) and yes, The Band would be a natural for a lot of the material on agib or sbs. violator era depeche mode>spiders tom waits doing lets not get carried away morphine doing ELT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Band playing Hell Is Chrome... Danko on the vocalsDamn, that would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Byrds (probably Sweetheart of the Rodeo era, with McGuinn on vocals) doing "Forget the Flowers." Pretty obvious, but I'd still love to hear it. Also: Tom Waits doing "Red Eyed and Blue." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrfish Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The first time I heard Secret of the Sea from Merm Ave II, I thought that Jeff must have been channeling George Harrison. So it would be cool to hear George do that song. Or any fellow Traveling Wilbury...Jeff Lynne? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Byrds (probably Sweetheart of the Rodeo era, with McGuinn on vocals) doing "Forget the Flowers." they'd do a cool Box full of letters i think actually, Too far apart - Led zeppelin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wilconut Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Waylon Jennings doing Bob Dylan's Beard, Evan Dando doing Blasting Fonda or Red-Eyed Blue, or young Bob Dylan doing Sunken Treasure. John Prine doing Someone's Elses Song would be cool too, and John Hiatt doing Kingpin or One by One. One more: Echo and The Bunnyman doing Candyfloss. Would be awesome, IMO.
