I've enjoyed the recent "who else are you listening to" thread.  I tell
you what, it's reminded me of a whole lot of good music I've somehow
forgotten about.hi ho, hi ho, it's off to the used CD store I go.
So how about this.  Propose 3 songs:  One the Oils should have covered,
one you'd like to see the Remainders cover (the name's sticking, isn't
it?) and one none of them should ever, ever cover under any
circumstances whatsoever (limited to popular music, of course, no opera
or anything flaky like that).
 
Here's mine:
For the first, "Every Generation Got its Own Disease," from Fury in the
Slaughterhouse.  I just adore painful music, but their lead singer is
too detached, he doesn't do this great song justice - imagine what
emotional excesses Pete could have wrung out of this one!  Complete and
utter misery!  Grab the Kleenex!
For the second, I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that JM is of
Irish heritage, so I'd propose the great Waterboys' classic "Fisherman's
Blues."  The vocal range is perfect for Bones and Rob & the bouncy beat
irresistible.  Strictly speaking, they'd need a fiddle player, but what
the hell, maybe Jim could just use a synth instead.
 
And for the last, let's go with a recent anti-classic:  "Who Will Save
Your Soul" by Jewel.  If I hear that sappy song one more time I'm gonna
puke.  They played it about every 10 minutes on the local alt station
YAAAAAH!
Excuse me - Beth
