Elvis Costello

I thought of "The Loved Ones" and "Accidents will happen" earlier, but did not post it..Glad you did..

 

I kinda want to say Cheap Trick, but hesitate as I can't think of one of their tunes that would translate well..Of course, if attempted, the band could completely prove me wrong on this, but at this point, I'm not hearing it in my head..

 

What does anyone think about Joe Jackson's "Different for Girls"? Do you think that might be an interesting cover? Love the song, but a little if-y on how that might translate...

Good call.

 

And someone earlier brought up Joe Jackson. I think anything off of Look Sharp would be in this band's wheel house.

or maybe "Helter Skelter"...

Motley Crue covered Helter Skelter.. which may be of no interest to folks on a Wilco message board...but I dig it anyways :rock

Would a "Beth" cover be to cliche'? Cause, although it's not Wilco, I could provide you with a link that might interest you...

disclaimer- i would prefer wilco at wilco shows. but these tunes would be fun at random times for me. however if i constructed a dream setlist for a wilco show these tunes would not make it.

"Rough Boys" would be killer!!

 

What do you guys think of Rod Stewart's "Young Turks"? Or Steely Dan's "Black Cow" or "Aja"?
