Covers album

Discipline - 4-15-2008 at 07:07 PM

With all the band voting going on, I thought of another one that might be interesting. If you had a band and were going to do an all covers album, what songs would you pick. Limit of 15 songs. Genre doesn't matter.

Mine:

1. Negative Approach- Tied Down
2. Motorhead- Orgasmatron
3. Sheer Terror- Three Year Bitch
4. Agnostic Front- Public Assistance
5. Discipline- Frontline Skins
6. Easy Action- There Was A Time
7. Dropkick Murphy's- Never Alone
8. Anti-Hero's- Murder One
9. The Business- Product
10. Big John Bates- Poppa Spoonful
11. Social Distortion- Angels Wings
12. Gang Green- Alcohol
13. Dayglo Abortions- Proud To Be Canadian
14. Bruiser's- Gates of Hell
15. Dead Kennedy's- Moral Majority

After this you should have a thread taking your song list and who you would want to do the cover versions of each song.

SOIA- YA I would say any song, but this song must be awesome to play live. TAKE THE NIGHT OFF.

PENNYWISE- wouldn't it be nice

TOKEN ENTRY- Anything off JAYBIRD. Definitely the song WINDOWS

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN- The River

BONJOVI - dead or alive

CIRCLE JERKS- WILD IN THE STREETS

MOTLEY CRUE- girls girls girls. Stripers love that song.

TOM PETTY and the HRTBKRS- Even the losers. I would like ot play it just as they do. Great song.

I would like to cover THE ACCUSED covering GBH with the song SICK BOY. I love GBH but accused rip shit up with that song.

TURNING POINT- Feeding The Fire - great outro

U2- I WILL FOLLOW. I am getting into these guys quite a bit lately and this song in general sounds like it would be fun to play.

UNBROKEN- D4 man I love this record. Its a classic. Some of the best hard/emotional/intense music put to record. Seriously anything off LIFE.LOVE.REGRET

I think I'd just pick my favourite tracks off Saturday Morning Cartoons, Too Legit For the Pit & Stormy Remembrance of TV Theme Shows. A few tracks off those 3 and I'm set with a great comp.

It's a cover of Iron Chin, but the lyrics are different.

I'm sure there are exceptions but covers albums are generally weak because they don't have a theme of sorts. But these are songs I'd like to do:

Elivis Costello - What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding

The Temptations - Ain't Too Proud to Beg

Springsteen - Growing Up

Sam Cooke - Having a Party

Johnny Cash - Jackson

The Rolling Stones - Before They Make Me Run

I've often thought about this.
Some of my favorite songs are ones redone by different artists.
I thought Joe Coffee's version of Jump In The River was pretty awesome.

heres some I'd do, just a tad heavier.....
Stones: Paint It Black
Misfits:Hybrid Moments
Smiths: How Soon Is Now
The Stooges: I wanna be your dog
Motorhead: Jailbait
i know i will think of more later....

Rolling Stones - Heart of Stone, we might actually do this one sometime soon. I'd love to rip this song up. :ticking:
