Songs you'd like to see MMJ cover

[tjd]

I didn't see this topic posted anywhere, but I'm just curious to see other fans' opinions....who knows....maybe the band will see this thread one day fulfill one of our requests.

The first song I'd like to see may seem rather odd, but it prompted the idea for this thread.  For some reason I was listening to Knights of Cydonia by Muse and all I could picture is MMJ rocking out to it.  

Others that may be cool:
Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John (Rocket Man is my favorite cover...I'd be interested to see what Jim James could do with another Elton Song...maybe even try 'My Father's Gun')
Any Led Zepplin song...maybe 'Ten Years Gone'
Into the Mystic - Van Morrison (Maybe Carl could break out the sax)
I've Been Loving You Too Long - Otis Redding

I'd kill for any song from Pink Floyd's Obscured By Clouds.

I would love to hear a Shining Star....Honey, you are my shining star
Don't you go away...
Wow :D

I know this exists somewhere, because I know I'd love to see them cover Zappa's Montana

[The DARK]

jim needs to do more marvin gaye.

Surprised he hasn't already.

I used to be great at this thread, now I realize that Jim makes better choices than I do.  ;)

Thanks Ruckus.

I thought some thread had to be started on this subject, but I couldn't find it.  I saw a lot of interesting suggestions.  

....Definitely agree that ultimately Jim makes the best decisions.  I always  am very cautious when I state that a certain cover is better than the original, but I feel Jim has achieved that feat a couple of times....he knows what he can do!  Case in point 'Hot Burrito #1' by Flying Burrito Bros. (IMHO).

Superstition- Stevie Wonder

Emotional Rescue by the Rolling Stones!

Sea and Sand by The Who. That would blow my mind.

That and Exile on Main St. in its entirety.

Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder

My favorite song.

By my favorite "classic rock" band

I would explode.

I almost couldn't handle the awesomeness of A Quick One...

I wonder if they could pull off Bohemian Rhapsody?  I bet they could.

I think that'd be fun. Carl could do his Highly Suspicious voice for the duet section.

they did cover A Quick One with Eddie Vedder live, it's on youtube :D

[Shepardspy]

I was thinking something by Paul Simon.  Maybe "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard" or "Kodachrome".

;D  I'm guessing you misundertood Fiddle.

I never got to see them cover Quick One and I fear they will never bust it out again.  Sigh, I wish I was at Roo '06

I loved hearing Eddie do It Makes No Difference with them, but I'm still disappointed that they saved A Quick One for Europe. That would have been one of the highlights of my life.
