This works way more than it should. Like Metallica done in a 1950s style? How the hell?

I actually haven’t minded some U2 covers. But they’re generally a pretty boring band.
Not sure why so many people hate on U2. I’ve always found their sound unique, and I have a bunch of their stuff in my music library.
They’re just boring to me. In every aspect. Although I know a lot of the hate for them is Bono.
Probably because they forced themselves on to everyone's iPhone uninvited.

re: U2
Last album overall I enjoyed from them that they put out was Rattle and Hum, and the last studio album I enjoyed was Joshua Tree.
Couldn’t find anything I liked from their 90’s albums, and their 2000’s+ albums felt too commercial for me.

I'm of a similar mind. I like some of their first three albums and started to lose interest by "The Unforgettable Fire" when they started to get some level of popularity. I haven't really liked much of anything I've heard from them since. *shrug* Not my cuppa, but if others enjoy it, have at it.
This would be my dream project haha. But one easy starting point would be 1001 songs/albums books. I think playlists of those are available on spotify. What I wouldn't use is Billboards Year End Hot 100 lists - lots of garbage in there that doesn't stand the test of time.
She and I have discussed that publisher and how their editorial folks always defers to older things regardless of the content. They'll put something on their list and then take it off a few years later to put something new on rather than have the balls to drop some of the cheese from the '68-'72 era.
The ask was also for personal ones - stuff I like or thought was influential to music I enjoy. Even the Trouser Press who I often enjoy for their takes doesn't always agree with my taste and I know a bunch of music reviews of things that I still enjoy to this day conjure up images of kicking the writer right in the plums whenever I read them that approach best of lists with caution.

"Eric Cartman?"
Always been a big Deep Purple fan (Ian Gillian with the incredible pipes), but Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow - back in the MTV days - “Street of Dreams” was a big favorite.
Also, check out the lyrics to” Knocking at Your Back Door”, from Deep Purple.
Scandalous.
