I think we should cover The National's Boxer.

To be honest, I could really really get behind this. The most important thing for me with covers is that I can get behind the lyrics, and that's certainly the case with Boxer.

Other albums from the poll that I'd be keen to try out: Pet Sounds, If You're Feeling Sinister, ITAOTS, and Rumours (screw the haters).

Also, hearing people try to cover Loveless would be fascinating.

Gonna open the new poll. Glad to see there's still so much interest for this though.

No biggie, it can be easy to get that idea about Kozelek because a lot of his stuff has that folky feel to it, which can often lend itself to simplicity. But yeah, listen to stuff like Alesund and Black Kite and it's pretty far from simple.

Most of them could probably be adapted to be simple enough, but don't sell Kozelek short. He's an amazing guitarist and his fingerpicking arrangements are really hard to replicate. Plus he does a good majority of his songs in alternate tunings and there's a lot of unconventional stuff going on in his songwriting. That's not to say it can't be covered, but it's not like it'd be as easy as B&S or ITAOTS or anything.

What if we did something Mark Kozelek related since there is universal love for him here, and his songs aren't too complex?

At first I voted Rain Dogs because I remembered it had lots of songs and it didn't seem too complex (which I guess it probably is) and I just skimmed all the options lol but I wasn't thinking and everyone else is right regarding it.
If You're Feeling Sinister could be good.

Ooh Piper at the Gates of Dawn would be really interesting but perhaps implausible and I imagine there are a few users who don't care for it.

Also I really really support Doolittle as well, that could be a lot of fun.

I think simpler albums give more room for interpretation and making more different, original covers. I'd rather have us cover Doolittle or ItAotS than Rain Dogs or OK Computer.

I think a folk album would be the best choice to cover... Pink Moon, For Emma Forever Ago, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Hospice, Bridge Over Troubled Water..

I dunno. Just looking at my charts.

If our final result is Rain Dogs, I won't be opposed though.

Honestly Rain Dogs might be the least appealing album to me on here, I just feel like it gives users less creative freedom regarding the style of the songs. Obviously I think Pet Sounds is the best, but I'd be happy with anything that's not Rain Dogs or Rumors. Also lets please not do fucking Mellon Collie.

Yeah, that's all true. But a lot of people would be stuck with filler... (in all fairness).

It might also be a bit too long, but I'm sure there's enough people to contribute for it to work. Especially if some people did more than one song if needed.

I would be very interested to see BEA's interpretation of a Rihanna album or something. Not Sgt Peppers or OK Computer yawwwn. Oh and maybe I should vote Fleetwood mac because lol

Album I thought of today:

Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

This gives us variety, opportunity to change some things and be innovative, do an album that's highly rated here, and let's MANY people contribute. Question is, would it be too long?

It's for your benefit, it looks retarded. Like how Purple actually posts a lot of shitty meme stuff. This is community service.

Oh I guess I should also mention that I voted Belle And Sebastian and I think Tom Waits would be a poor choice for a cover album. Doolittle would be fun too.

Yoshimi would be so difficult to cover though 🤣 He has a point.

I'm actually not all for the idea of covering Rain Dogs to be honest. 🤔 I don't think I've ever heard a single cover version of a Tom Waits song that I've preferred to the original, or even enjoyed. But I'm sure someone might be able to come up with an interesting version of Walking Spanish or Time.

I voted If You're Feeling Sinister, but Rain Dogs, Pet Sounds, or VU & Nico would be cool.
