Ever find songs that you could just see another band covering perfectly? I was listening to "Kotton Krown" by Sonic Youth in my government class, and I can seriously see Eisley doing a truely amazing interpretation of this song. The melody and the lyrics fit perfectly with Eisley's material, so it wouldn't seem horribly out of context at all.

So what songs do you want to see Eisley cover?

i had a dream that eisley covered a toadies song the other night. and chauntelle sang it. but now that i think about it, i don't think it was really a toadies song. but it was in the dream... if that makes ANY sense.

eisley should play zombie by the cranberries again.

"Fake Plastic Trees," by Radiohead. Or "Paranoid Android," by Radiohead. Or "I Will," by Radiohead. That last one would be really cool, 'cause it's got the vocal stuff going on the background like in "Laughing City."

see. i think the whole point of a band, like eisley, covering another bands song would be to take something from another genre and bridge the gap.. fill the space..

i would like to hear eisley cover something like..
patsy cline - 'walking after midnight'
blood sweat and tears - 'spinning wheel'
or the who - 'baba o'riley'

ok.. so my vision will never come true...
i wouldn't mind hearing a good remake of:

sugar ray - someday
mustard plug - you

.. is it possible for me to get kicked out of a forum simply for having bad ideas?

EXCELLENT choice, Paranoid Android is one of the first songs that came to my mind. A song like that performed by such a sweet female voice would sound even more creepier and darker than it does. That would be GREAT!

and... BASKETCASE! If Avril did it, why not Sherri??

I can just hear Stacy singing, "Please can you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest..." *shivers and chills*

I would love to hear any cover of a Beatles song. Don't really have many in mind specifically, but theres a lot that would sound awesome.

the beatles...
maybe "across the universe"... that song is so... sedative... it makes you want to go to sleep... I just don't know why!
