Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Elvis CostelloI 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...

benjamin Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Elvis Costello. oooohhhh.... maybe some "Whats So Funny About Peace Love & Understanding" as for the talk about Kiss... Id go crazy if I ever heard anyone cover "Do You Love Me?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'm not familiar with this track That's one you really should check out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IATTBYB Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 oooohhhh.... maybe some "Whats So Funny About Peace Love & Understanding" Good call. And someone earlier brought up Joe Jackson. I think anything off of Look Sharp would be in this band's wheel house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tjr Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think Wilco would play the hell out of The Beatles' "I Dig A Pony" from Let It Be.... or maybe "Helter Skelter"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 as for the talk about Kiss... Id go crazy if I ever heard anyone cover "Do You Love Me?"Would a "Beth" cover be to cliche'? Cause, although it's not Wilco, I could provide you with a link that might interest you... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shabba rich Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Whoever said Elvis Costello first wins...his songs would be too perfect for them. Agreed. "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" would fit in nicely with the SBS soul vibe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
