radiokills Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 The Diamond Sea by Sonic Youth would own everything. more like OWN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilconut Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have always thought that the boys would do an awesome cover of Mr. Bluesky by ELO. Especially with this current lineup, I think this song would rock it. Any hope for this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 "Dont Think Twice its Alright"That would be fantastic. Another one I'd love to hear is Across the Universe...although I guess these are really more "dream cover songs" for a Tweedy solo show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

W(TF) Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 HEY HEY, MY MY by NEIL YOUNG +1 that would be cool. (or Sugar Mountain) In fact Jeff's already got the lumbering (hoppping?) white guy Neil bop down pat. And that's the hardest part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Cut My HairZoot suit white jacket with side pins five inches longI'm out on the street againand I'm leaping alongI'm dressed right for a beach fightbut I just can't explainWhy this uncertain feelingIs still here in my brain Sorry..But I just Fucking LOOOOVE that song!!!!

W(TF) Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Some of the raunchier classics would be fun... Good Morning School Girl, Suzie Q, maybe Long Tall Sally if there was enough inebriation involved. Agree on the Velvets, pretty much anything from Loaded. Oh yeah, and Old Time Religion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts" might possibly be riveting... Video killed the Radio star has a lovely melody..A Tweedy vocal would probably translate beautifully.. And I agree with Echo and the Bunnymen...but maybe "The Cutter" instead.. Oh yeah..and The Specials "GhostTown"..now THAT I'd love to hear!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Dedicated Follower of Fashion - The KinksThe Hollies - Bus StopGreat ideas! And- The Faces "Itchycoo Park" I'd like to hear them doThe Band - The Night TheDrove Old Dixie DownBut that's just meI'd prefer "Ophelia" or "Up On Cripple Creek" but ditto on the that's just me thing Damn..this thread is FUN!!

Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Also T Rex "Telegram Sam" and Mott the Hoople "All the way from Memphis"... Edit: And Adrian Belew's "Oh Daddy" comes to mind as well..(43 seconds in after Julie Brown's intro). It's possible that the lyrics might resemble a Tweedy family dialouge between Jeff and his kids..Ya never know The Knack-"Good Girls Don't" too... Not as Tweedy family dialouge though ..but Hey..It's not like I'm privy to their dinner table discussions so what do I know..It's anyone's guess... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Trying to think of some more uptempo ideas... The Kinks "This Time Tomorrow"Big Star "O My Soul"Graham Parker "Turned Up Too Late"Jackson Browne "The Road and the Sky" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'll probably get a lot of criticism for this (actually..I might be safe as I don't think the board members here really talk much to me at all- sort of in a new kid in school who no one will sit with at lunch kinda way ) but I DIG "Carry On My Wayward Son"...No amount of persuasion could ever sway me on this one. I think Wilco would absolutely nail it..not that they'd choose to..but I'm just saying.. Edit: Sorry, but now my wheels are rotating like mad as I mentally scan my record collection... XTC's "Making Plans for Niegel" or "Senses working overtime" English Beat's "Save it for later" which I think Pete Towshned may have covered as well.. Brewers and Shipley "One Toke Over The Line", if it didn't conflict with N/A's 12 step program :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 The Kinks "This Time Tomorrow"And "Father Christmas" for any shows which happen to coincide... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lazy Locomotive Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I was listening to Simon and Garfunkel's America, and I couldn't help but think it would have been a great Wilco tune had they written it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Derek Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Another couple ideas are Down By The River and Cowgirl In The Sand by Neil Young. I still think it'd be awesome to cover The Who (Glenn would go nuts) and the Dead (some of Wilco's stuff reminds me of the Dead, mostly from the new album - Hate It Here, You Are My Face) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I still think it'd be awesome to cover The Who (Glenn would go nuts)Hmmm...I don't know enough about percussion to really state this with confidence, but my instinct is saying that although I never made this connection before, the element which would really drive a Who cover, would have to be Glens interpretation of a keith Moon drum track. That would seriously be exciting to hear! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
