All great choices. I'd rather actually see Kyuss (QOTSA's predecessor, but you knew that) do Interstellar Overdrive or maybe even Astronomy Dominae (SP?). How about God Speed You black Emperor doing Play That Funky Music White Boy ?
 
What song(s) would you like to see another artist - specifically - cover ?
Mine would be Tom waits covering Lucinda William's - Blue (for starters)
 
metallica covering whole lotta love. i personally think they did a sterling job with whiskey in a jar. just like to see what/if they could do with whole lotta love.
 
I would like to hear Courtney Love cover "crazy" by Willie Nelson, but not mess it up all rock or nothing...sing it like Patsy Cline style....I've heard her do Mrs. Robinson, and it was really good...
 
I could see Kyuss doing Hawkwind . Voivod do a pretty good cover of Astronomy Domine.

I wouldn`t mind hearing the Sex Pistols do Lazy Sunday Afternoon by The Small Faces either.

Oh and I should have added that i`d love to hear Radiohead do anything by Can. Apparently Radiohead do the song Thief in their live show sometimes, now everytime I play the Can version all I can imagine is how Thom Yorke would sound singing it.
 
id like to see the white stripes cover "people are strange" by the doors. that song would suit them down to the ground.
for some reason- LCD sounRABystem covering "heroes" would be quite interesting to me.
 
Can Courtney Love sing like Patsy Cline ? (it pisses me off that this thread only got this far maybe ill start a Green Day thread for some stimulation)
 
you do and there will be some serious ass welts coming you way!
remeraber the Great Band or American Idiots thread I started? That thing has like 400 posts on it! Please...I pray you, just let it be!
 
i would normally say for some punk band to do a cover of an 80s song but i heard most of the songs on the punk goes metal album and they all suck. so i have no idea.
 
The Velvet Underground's Heroin and Rock N' Roll- The Strokes
Soundgarden's Jesus Christ Pose- Weezer (hmm, yeah maybe, I thought)
Nirvana's Lithium- Bush
Tom Petty's Even The Losers- The Ataris
Foo Fighters' All My Life- Chevelle
Eh I have lots more I could think of but I'm good. :)
 
I don't have a cover wish list. Covers are so dodgy, there's always the chance you're gonna ruin the song. Then there's the whole debate of wether to do the song exactly the same, or to change it. To sing it exactly the same seems almost pointless, and yet to change it can make it just sound wrong. I'll just see what comes out and hope there are no butchered songs.
 
A few that I can think of offhand

QOTSA doing Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd
Oasis doing Personality Crisis by the New York Dolls
Nick Cave doing When The Music`s Over by The Doors
Massive Attack doing Ghost Town by The Specials
White Stripes doing Tom Cat by Muddy Waters
