POLL: What Band Do You Want Performing At Your Party If They Could Only Play “COVER” Songs?

PLEASE ADD YOUR FAVS, (if not already listed)


Which band do you want playing at your house party, backyard barbecue or Beach- Pool Party -IF they could only play other people’s songs?
Remember; they won’t play their original songs - but will play any songs you tell them to!

This is a fun way of identifying which bands you feel are most versatile, musically rich in history and talent.

“Bands” can consist from any era from 1960 to present, the bands can be bands that are now defunct,dead, broken up, fragmented, reformed or intact - meaning any band past or present.

Some qualifying factors I considered were their actual cover recordings, ability to play a variety of musical styles/songs - plus their apparent sense of musical history and appreciation.
Think - your favorite songs being performed by them at a party! Whooo-Hoooo. LOL.

Your nominees are welcome! Please name and comment if your choice isn’t here.
Please comment if your band is here and VOTE!

Three (3)votes allowed.

Kick off the Summer Party Season!

 

Springsteen/E-Street Band, the Stones,... and those famous four from Liverpool that are not in the poll.^^

 

I'd want a 1995 era Black Crowes.

 

The Young Fresh Fellows
The Replacements
Buck Owens & The Buckaroos

 

Anyone but Van Halen.

 

Wilco

 

Do backing bands count? The Wrecking Crew?

I also pick Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and CCR.

 

For sure- great one!

 

I voted for the E Streeters because of course you can't stump the band.

I voted also for Rockpile because they are a band I would love to see again performing anything.

My third pick - not on the list - would be Del Amitri who have consistently done brilliant covers since 1989.

 

To The Replacements named above, I'd add the Ramones.

 

These are great choices.

 

I checked the first three you listed and decided not to over think the rest of the choices.

 

This is the party I want.

 

I went with NRBQ, Bruce w/the E, and Tom with the Heartbreakers.
My write in would be Dwight Yoakum, with Pete Anderson in the band.

 

Beat me to it ...

 

The Replacements

 

Plimsouls
Insomniacs
Dirtbombs

 

Flamin' Groovies

Joe "King" Carrasco and the Crowns

 

Great ones

 

J Geils Band
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Van Halen (sorry, troggy)

 

Yo La Tengo

No originals allowed? Well, that eliminates Pearl Jam.

 

The Grateful Dead was my choice from the poll.

I'll second Buck Owens and the Buckaroos.

P-Funk not on the list.

 

Good calls all the way around.

 

Interesting to see Leon Russell listed as a choice, because I'd like to hear most of the bands listed cover Leon Russell songs!

 

It's okay. I knew it would happen.
