i want to second RUNAWAY - good one
and sam the sham. forgot all about him. :)
Quotemy girl said last night during the Grammys that they should cover "Superstitious" by Stevie Wonder. I think that would be wonderful since Jim has the old R&B singer inside of him.
I would like to add a day in the life by the Beatles. Instead of holding the last note for 1 minute, they would cut it, wait 5 secs, and then rock the fuck out.

Only since he was hungry one day. Check it, he ate this dude, and now he sings like Marvin Gaye.
How about they cover "Us and Them" by Floyd. Carl on the sax would be incredible.
And let's throw in "Let it Rain" by Clapton. I love that song.

Not really. 3 Libras, while being a pretty cool song, doesn't make any sense in relation to the Jacket. I don't understand that at all. The two sounds just wouldn't click. It would sound. . . not good.

Yeah, I can't see it ever happening either. But they'd still like to hear it.

Dancin' In the Streets -- either the original or Bowie/Jagger version.

Pale Shelter -- Tears for Fears
Take Me to the River -- any version

I was about 6 shots deep on Early Times when I replied to that :) and was chillaxed to the fullest, broheim, but those just struck me as very odd songs you would want to hear them play, and I like Phish just about as much as MMJ.
Id rather hear the play I Saw The Sign....seriously :D
I really wanted them to play Will2k by Will Smith on New Years Eve- that would have rocked socks
On the Border and One of these Nights by the Eagles. The falsetto in the latter always reminds me of Jim. Oh, and the entire Cure Album- Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me. Great Album imo and I think the songs would translate very well. Give it a listen if you haven't.
I'd also like hear a rocking Sugar Magnolia (GD) next NYE. Jim also said he do "Brown Eyed Women" when asked what GD song he'd cover. I think they'd do it justice to say the least. I ablsolutley love their version of The Bands "It Makes no Difference" Those songs have a very similar emotional tone.
'I Dont Want To Talk About It' by Crazy Horse. Although Danny Whitten's voice on the original is one of the most heartbreaking vocal performances committed to tape, I'd love to hear Jim's take on this song.
Another one would be 'A House Is Not A Motel' by Love. Dueling guitar solo at the end would be manic...
"When Will You Come" Galaxie 500
"Please Don't Take MY Sunshine" Sparklehorse
"Astronaut" Luna
"The Fleecing" Pedro the Lion
"Snow" Pernice Brothers
Dylan - Boots of Spanish Leather
Cheap Trick - I Want You to Want Me
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
Richard Thompson - 1952 Black Vincent Lightning
Cher - Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves
The Band - Rockin' Chair
Beach Boys - Sloop John B
Built to Spill - Twin Falls
The Boss - Land of Hopes and Dreams
Carpenters - Rainy Days and Mondays
These are just songs I love that popped into my head. After looking back at the list I think they could kill any of these songs.
Not sure if they've done any of these yet: in no particular order.
1. Debris-Faces
2. Keep Me Cryin'-Al Green
3. When You Awake-The Band
4. To Love Somebody-Flying Burrito Bros.
5. Here Tonight-Gene Clark w/ F.B.B
6. Rotten Peaches-Elton John
7. Silver Train-Stones
8. That's All It Took-Gram Parsons
9. Everybody Is A Star-Sly&The Family Stone
10. Only You Know And I Know-Delaney&Bonnie
Guess I'm gonna have to turn in my "Forum Card" because my wishlist is a little different than yours....ha yeah right.
Doesn't Jim always say it's a goal of the band to prove to people that all music really isn't that different than people think it is.
I think that mmj playing 3 libra's live with like a full orchestra backing them would be BAD ASS and if you don't agree with me then maybe you should turn in your forum card?
I really really really really want to hear "I'm On Fire" again. Really. They're covered it before, but they need to do it again.
Poor places- by Wilco
Crying- TVOTR
Go Or Go Ahead- Rufus Wainwright
"40" U2
I'd like to hear them cover "Stuck inside the mobile with the memphis blues again" or "I'm not there", both by Dylan. I enjoy JJ perfomance of Going to acuapulco on the I'm not there OST, so I think it might work with other Dylan songs as well.
Other songs would be:
Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" maybe, "Like Hurricane" or "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young, something by Pearl Jam, preferaby something that rocks and Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb.
I don't know if they would fit, but those are some of the songs I'd like to hear them play.
Why not ;)
City of Immigrants - Steve Earle
Penny on the Train Tracks - Ben Kweller

You stole what was going to be 1 of my 10 with Beast of Burden if I ever get around to thinking of a list.
DBTR would be cool too
Fat Bottomed Girls would be fun as shit, perfect for Bonnaroo or something.
I'd like to hear I Will Sing You Songs covered as if it were written for Z
i'd also think it would be cool to see them cover the Band's Last Waltz movie from start to finish (i know that more songs were played that night than just those). Obviously, The Band is a big influence on Jim and I don't think anyone would want to straight up copy what The Band did so this would never happen, but I think it'd be pretty cool. Especially if they brought various guests in to do it just like the band did, e.g someone like Conor Oberst coming out to do Neil Young's "Helpless" or Eddie Vedder coming out for "I Shall be Released".

I was digging through my iPod this morning while cruising into work after a snow storm and it was warm enough to put down the sunroof, so I naturally needed to find a great highway album, which turned out to be one I haven't listened to since 2006: Grand Funk - Closer to Home
I think they could totally tear up a few songs on this album, such as Sin's a Good Man's Brother for sheer force, Nothing is the Same to show off their individual skills, and throw in a little Got to Keep it Together to let Bo do a little improving.
Oh, and Closer to Home or Into the Sun
Man, I havent heard that song in forever, but I love it.
An Im Your Captain/Closer to Home cover would be sweet
...Im gonna go listen to it on youtube now :)

If you're not familiar with GFR, I highly suggest you become familiar. Just ignore "We're an American Band" and "Locomotion".

Yes, I think that edges out On Time only because On Time has a really cheesy sounding opener, but has a bit more of an epic, almost prog-rock feel near the middle of the album with a slew of 8 minute songs. Into the Sun is classic, which is why I linked it.
However, Closer to Home is just an all around kick-ass album.
