I have an empty weekend. I will do this.

It's Love by King's X. Does that count? They were still heavy jesus praise when that album came out, and Jesus is Love and all that poo poo. Too far of a stretch?

Oh and the key to not burning out on a song - do it all in one session. The second you come back to it and start recording more tracks, you've killed it. (I am talking to myself in the previous statement)

Holy poo poo hang on - can we cover one of our own hits*?

You need to change the title to "The best goddamn music you'll ever loving hear you cocksucking gently caress sacks."

Even better: "We want your music reviews for our Canadian epic release on Geffen."

Or something.

Edit - you know what'd be even easier? Posting the songs on Youtube. Just make a video of your photo with the music as the background. Then create a playlist of all the clips. You'll see thumbs up on each track, comments, and stuff.

That's right. I'm all ideas, no delivery. Says so on every report card and yearly review.

Greatest Hits doesn't count as a classic album; it doesn't encompass that transition from one song into the next, the statement about where the artist's head was when they recorded it, etc. It's just "lots of big songs by this one artist." You don't get that deep-cut poo poo.

But it doesn't matter. You won't get everybody to agree on anything. Just pick it, and stick it.

My vote is either Thriller or George Michael's Faith.

Don't get me wrong. I love Pink Floyd and DSotM may be one of the best albums of all time, but given the experimental nature of some of the material I just don't see it working for covers. I like the idea of classic/influential albums, but I think if we do that we have to narrow our gaze a bit and go more toward the commercially palatable end of the spectrum and hit the conventional rock or pop. Also I'd rather have a surplus of material to choose from and not have anyone feel left out. Just my two cents.
corporate rock sellout right here.

FYGM old man! We can throw down in 7/4 anytime.

E:If you want non corporate music, I'll go Sun Ra on you.

I eat pieces of 7/4 for breakfast.

But seriously, this debate could go on forever with no shits given. Pick a theme and move on. Don't care if it's one album, or songs about doodoo pics in my photo album. How about take a lovely cover and loving make it better than the lovely people who covered it. GREAT WHITE's Once Bitten comes to mind. They needed to all die in that fire.

Never have I gone from wanting to argue to being in complete agreement so fast.
So there you go. Cover a cover version that made it to Billboard's top, ten? twenty? How obscure do you want to go?

Sorry guys I've been a total slacker picking a new theme. Next round starts tomorrow!

Like. Tomorrow tomorrow? Or more like, in a decade tomorrow? Or neverland tomorrow.

Because, come on. I've been hugely active in these things, and... umm.

lurk.
