Who should/shouldn't cover FM?
In your humble opinions...
Who should and should NOT cover a FM song? Should: Dolly Parton...hmmm...maybe Oh Daddy....(LOVE what she did with Stairway to Heaven!!), Amy Grant should sing Dreams, BBMak should do Save Me a Place, their harmonies are SUPERB!!!, No Doubt should do Sisters of the Moon and...Britney Spears should do Imagine. Should NOT: Marilyn Manson (Oy...), Elton John (Don't Stop was HELLA-BAD!! ), Bruce Springsteen (I just don't like the man's voice...yuck).

I think it would be interesting for just about anyone to take on a Mac song and give it a twist,except for Britney,cause that would have to be breaking some law of musical ethics.Dave Matthews would do an AMAZING job with Tusk...cause it fits their sound so perfectly...i can't really think of any others off the top of my head..

No Doubt would do an awesome job with Sisters of the Moon!!!! i think that R.E.M could do a good job.....and Pink would do a good job too, not sure what song tho.
as for people who should NOT attempt to cover a FM song, i'd say Britany, N*Sync, any of those types, should not even try, because, like Sarah said, that would have to be breaking some law of musical ethics.

They should COVER these songs!
How about R.E.M. covering LB's Walk a Thin Line
and maybe...I Know Iam Not Wrong! Even...Mystified! I'd like Dolly Parton's interpretion of ...Oh, Daddy!!! Sky

Hmmm...
Rufus Wainwright may prove interesting, as may be U2 (or has U2 done one?). I'm thinking Save Me a Place or That's All For Everyone would be good for Rufus, or even Storms or Songbird. I'm not sure yet as to which one U2 should do.
I personally wouldn't want any female artist besides Bjork to take a stab at covering, just because she could make things strange or wild, nothing mainstream. I bet she could go nuts on Straight Back, or better yet, Tango in the Night. Wheee! love to all, Amy Yeo |

I rarely find covers to be that good. I'm one who would much rather hear the original than another artists interpretation of what they believe the song should be.
However, I think No Doubt might be able to pull off Sisters of the Moon quite well. I can see Pink doing Rhiannon as well. I think Sara Maclachlan could do Beautiful Child. She has such an amazing voice and could definitely cover the music. I think she could also cover some of Stevie & Christine's softer songs. As for who shouldn't cover FM: I've heard many horrible covers: Rod Stewart--Stand Back Zeke--Rhiannon (OMG! If you've never heard this trust me, you aren't missing a thing! It's atrocious!) Shawn Colvin--The Chain Elton John--Don't Stop (I love Elton but this was a mistake!) Camper Van Beethoven--the Tusk cover album reaches new heights on the scale of awful Any heavy metal band has no business doing a cover. Last edited by saintbernard; 08-07-2002 at 08:41 PM.. |

OK, why can I actually imagine Elvis Costello singing Gypsy? That would work surprisingly well.
