Whose the last artist (not including rap) you'd want to her cover GL?
 
After moving the other day I was going through my music and I thought of this question. Gave myself several answers too and of course

......spent the whole night talking to myself! :biggrin: LOL!

These are just a few I'd shudder to hear:

KISS doing "Gotta Get Away"

Cher doing IYCRMM

Aerosmith attempting "Sit Down Young Stranger"

and Elton John trying his piano hands at "My Love For You"

back with more later! :)

-Scooter doing ANY Gord song (Good band, but they mix with GL like oil and water).

-Nickelback doing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

-ACDC trying to do Whispers Of The North??? HORRIBLE.

-Garth Brooks doing Harmony

I'd forgotten about Brittany Spears. It would be like a "spear" to the ear hearing her do a Gord song.

The Spice Girls doing Shadows

Dido (or is that Dodo? LOL!) trying her chords on "I'll Tag Along" :p

Axl Rose attempting to walk that "Endless Wire" (with that nasally warble he does in most songs.) :eek:

Chuck Berry actually making "Canary Yellow Canoe" a top 40 hit!
(Chuck in a canoe??) :confused:

Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger) vamping it up on "The Way I Feel". Ugh!!!

Gord trying to sing Canary Yellow Canoe in concert today. (Does he still sing it?) He'd have a rough time with his voice the way it is. :o

Re: Whose the last artist (not including rap) you'd want to her cover GL?
 
I know Chuck could pull it off,what I mean is "him' having a hi with it instead of Gordon. ;)

To continue:

Shakira doing "Go-Go Round" or "Baby Step Back"

The Knack make a comeback by covering "Daylight Katy" "knack-style!" :eek:

Bobby Sherman (Or even Bobby Goldsboro) comes back too and ruins "The Watchman's Gone" LOL! :biggrin:

I'm amazed Jimmy Buffett hasn't covered 'I'll Do Anything' from Shadows. Heck, it already sounds like a Buffett song.

That's one of those songs that completely stands out from all other GL songs. It makes you wonder did Gord originally record/write them. (Not dissing Gord or taking credit from him, I'm just saying they sound different, but are GREAT!!!) Rainbow Trout is another one that stands out.
