Music: Songs that you are waiting for a decent cover of

[Xelebes]

Like the other thread, this thread is for covers that are better than the originals. But those covers haven't been made yet.

For example, there is colourful song (Mukluk Shoe) by Stompin' Tom that needs to be carried further with Red River or Athapaskan riffing and using Innu singers. I have it in my head but I'm waiting for it. Argh.

I think Oasis album Be Here Now is just begging to be covered in its entirety by someone who hasn't taken all the cocaine.

I think a remastering of the album would be sufficient, cut it 15-20 min and update the production would do wonders. In the Oasis discography I think its a bit underrated tbh.

Think I read that they were working on it, maybe a release next year (20 year since release) or in the fall when the documentary is released.

Black Sabbath: "Paranoid"

Yes it is their hit / one of their hits, but it is still a very good song and the guitar solo in the middle is overbearing / not mixed right.

Bauhaus: "Bela Lugosi's Dead"

I feel this song could be effectively done in a different style, even though the original is excellent and has strong ambience.

"All" the cocaine is very apt.

On 11 November 1996, Oasis relocated to the rural Ridge Farm Studios in Surrey. Though the band reconvened with more energy, the early recordings were compromised by the drug intake of all involved. Morris recalled that "in the first week, someone tried to score an ounce of weed, but instead got an ounce of cocaine. Which kind of summed it up."[2] Noel was not present during any of Liam's vocal track recordings, typifying the high drama surrounding the sessions. Morris thought that the new material was weak, but when he voiced his opinion to Noel he was cut down: "[So] I just carried on shovelling drugs up my nose." Noel, wanting to make the album as dense and "colossal" feeling as possible, layered multiple guitar tracks on several of the songs. In many instances he dubbed ten channels with identical guitar parts, in an effort to create a sonic volume.[2] Creation's owner Alan McGee visited the studio during the mixing stage; he said, "I used to go down to the studio, and there was so much cocaine getting done at that point ... Owen was out of control, and he was the one in charge of it. The music was just ****ing loud."[6]

Such a sick riff... needs to be modernized a bit I think.

Queens of Stoneage covered this tune it could be epic.

One song I think deserves to be revisited is Blinded by the light. The synthesizer riff is incredible but the song is damn boring.

 

[Habsrule]

Weird choice but I will put it out there. Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. It was an early 2000's hit. It is still played on the radio on easy listening stations and at public places like grocery stores. Every time that I hear it I imagine a hard rock song.

Here is my take. Male lead singer first off. Then it is just as simple as replacing the piano in the original song with an electric guitar. Keep everything the exact same but just guitar riffs replace the piano.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version is a cover too (Bruce Springsteen).

Ya they nailed that. I heard Heart do Battle of Evermore years ago and thought she would be good on this. Super impressed and with the band looking on and Jimmy mouthing the solo. Choir just brought it home.

This band does tons of covers but I like their version...

Here's a pretty awesome ska/punk cover of it too.
Ive always wanted to cover this tune in a fast skatepunk way. I like my shit fast!

Skatune’s legit. I worked with Jer a few years back and it was an all-around great time. 100% recommend any of their stuff.

Dancing On My Own by Robyn seems like a solid song for someone with talent and integrity.

Another one would be The Trapeze Swinger by Iron & Wine.
