What good covers does your band (or yourself) play?

My band and I play an extraordinary "Golden Age" by Beck....and a pretty sweet "Neighboorhood #2" by The Arcade Fire

And the other day we played "Soul Suckin Jerk" by Beck.....it was amazing :H

 

Wave of Mutilation - The Pixies
Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
Where is My Mind - The Pixies
J. B. Goode - Chuck Berry
Muse - Showbiz, Citizen Erased, Plug in Baby - we're aiming for a muse cover every gig.

Blessings

The Ocean-Led Zeppelin
The Weight-The Band
Seek And Destroy-Metallica
Moby Dick-Led Zeppelin (that's my time to shine)

 

Sugar Mama- Bonnie Raitt

Move Over- Janis Joplin
Fell in Love with A Boy-Joss Stone
A Long Walk-Jill Scott

 

citrus seas, can you play that drum solo on moby dick?

that'd be impressive.

 

"You're Gonna Miss Me" 13th Floor Elevators
"Gloria" Van Morrison
we have done heaps of others but they are the ones we do quite alot.

 

My favourites that I've been playing lately:

Talk Tonight, Stand By Me, Wonderwall, D'yer Wanna Be a Spaceman (Oasis)
Friends, Goin' to California (Led Zeppelin)
Here I Go, Dark Globe, Terrapin, Apples and Oranges, Love You, um and a bunch of other Syd songs who's names have lost me right now
Like a Rolling Stone ~ Dylan
Freedom ~ Richie Havens
Fight Test, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots pt 1, Do You Realize?? (Flaming Lips)

there's probably more.

 

I wish my band was good enough to do songs from "Yoshimi"

 

Your band must really suck if y'all can't play any..

 

ahha, chuck...i kinda wanna hear your "Freedom", that'd be sweet

 

sweet child o mine
almost anything by sinatra
shitty old girl songs (like Uptown girl type songs...)
a whole shitload of other random songs I can't think of

but I play no instrument and never perform... I just sing a few certain songs kick ass.... I do guitar noises too

 

eek, forgot my beatles songs:

lately my favourites to play are Across the Universe, Savoy Truffle, Fool on the Hill, Two of Us, and Dont Let Me Down.

but my cover of "Help!" is the best I've ever heard.

No, we can play the songs...it just that it doesnt really sound too cool without all the electronic components (were basically a 2 guitars & drums )

 

I know what you mean.. I've started messing around with a computerized keyboard thing, I'm gonna buy a cheap one soon.. but then I have to find someone else to play rhythm, I haven't found anyone else who sounds as good as I do yet.

Maybe I'll try to invent some kind of foot pedal that'll allow me to play both...

 

Guessing you're a drummer?

 

devendra banhart - (basically every song off of rejoicing in the hands and then some...his songs or so easy, but so fun )

iron and wine - Sunset soon forgotten, Naked as we came, Jezebel, Each Coming Night

White Stripes - I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Wilco - Heavy Metal Drummer

The Beatles - Norwegin Woods, Black Bird

Elliott Smith - Angeles, Say Yes, Waltz#2(xo), Between the Bars, St. Ides Heaven
