Well ... I'd be curious to hear Won't Get Fooled Again by Mumford and Sons, but I doubt it would really work ...

In 2011 Q released Achtung Baby with each song covered by different artists, I really enjoyed it. They should do stuff like that more often.

Just thought I'd point out that SPIN did this with Nevermind, and it was totally free online. Great album, really, almost all the covers worked.

I want to say a magazine did this with Abbey Road as well, but I can't remember which and the only band I remember having participated is Noah and the Whale.

Quote:

Help! - Duran Duran
The Night Before - Green Day
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away - Lady Gaga

... is the weirdest combination I've ever seen. Would love to hear Green Day and Pink Floyd's songs and the rest, I don't even really want to think about. Still, for the idea of Pink Floyd doing yesterday, major points.

Those would all be cool, as well (though I personally think Weezer doing "Death on Two Legs" would be fucking tasty). And putting them on "Seaside Rendezvous" was a little iffy, but I couldn't think of a better one right off the top of my head, haha.

Yeah you're right haha would sound great with Weezer !

Pink Floyd on Death on two legs would have been cool too !

I wanted to do Doolittle, but I legitimately can't imagine another artist doing a Pixies song at anywhere near the same level, so I did A Night at the Opera instead:

Death on Two Legs - Weezer

You're My Best Friend - David Bowie
'39 - Genesis
Sweet Lady - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Seaside Rendezvous - Beach Boys
Prophet's Song - System of a Down
Love of My Life - Tom Waits
Good Company - The Zombies
Bohemian Rhapsody - The Flaming Lips

I might do more of these in the future. I really like this idea.
