the_fliz1 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Effigy - Uncle Tupelo. It was the first time I ever heard UT. It was on the No Alternative soundtrack.Sexual Healing - Soul Asylum. Off the same No Alternative album.Mammy Blue - Roger Whitaker - Thanks to A-Man I recently rediscovered this song.Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Nirvana. It is just classic.AFI - Just Like Heaven. Not a big AFI fan but they did it on the Cures MTV Icon tribute and it was really good.All Along the Watchtower - Jimi. After Jimi did it, Dylan started playing it Hendrix's way. Enough said.Mr Tambourine Man - Byrds. I just recently found out that this was a Dylan tune. You learn something new every day.The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down - Black Crowes. Marc Ford does a guitar solo that mimics the vocal melody that is great.I Shot The Sherrif - ClaptonThe entire Nineteen Eighties album - Grant Lee Phillips. Great album, 3 of the standouts are "Under The Milky Way", "Boys Don't Cry", and "So. Central Rain". I highly recommend this album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Gin and Juice...The GourdsWerd I was thinking of mentioning this one too.

GtrPlyr Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 One that many of you may not have been aware was a cover song:"Respect" - Aretha Franklin (Otis Redding)I thought that was fairly common knowledge. I'm sure it is around these parts . Some great ones mentioned already. I'll add: Nico "These Days" (Jackson Browne)Wilco "True Love Will Find You in the End" (Daniel Johnston)Emmylou Harris "Just about everything on Wrecking Ball for starters" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_fliz1 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Wilco "True Love Will Find You in the End" (Daniel Johnston) I never knew that Wilco covered Daniel Johnston. I recently started getting into some of his stuff after watching "The Devil and Daniel Johnston". Great documentary if anybody ever gets a chance to watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great documentary if anybody ever gets a chance to watch it.The Daniel Johnston doc is one of the better music docs of late. I would definitely recommend it too. You can download Wilco's version of his song from here http://www.owlandbear.com/2007/04/24/hoste...les-1994-2002// Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Gordon Lightfoot song he covered on the last disc was especially moving. dcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peqger Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I liked exactly zero Beatles covers until I heard The Black Keys doing "She Said, She Said." I suppose it's the exception that proves the rule (the rule being don't cover the Beatles).How about Aimee Mann & Michael Penn covering "Two of Us"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Clem Snide - I'll Be Your Mirror (Velvet Underground)I also like their cover of Beautiful (by Christina Aguilera). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 How about Aimee Mann & Michael Penn covering "Two of Us"?I'm saying nope. Just doesn't happen. I didn't really like that Fats Domino tune from earlier, either. There's just something about the Beatles recordings: they captured the songs perfectly. Not a fan of Aimee Mann's voice anyway.

tongue-tied Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 i like grandaddy's "Revolution" though it's the polar opposite of the original. i like pretty much every bootleg I have of Wilco covering somebody, especially "love will keep us together". i like the boot i have of the Autumn Defense singing "Ooh La La".
