@DJDarren I usually check the suggestions to make sure I don't duplicate, but this week...!! I don't envy you dude, that's a lot to go through!
Mine are:
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
All Along the Watchtower - Afterhere (not Jimi Hendrix!!)
obvs Tainted Love - Soft Cell
and Feeling Good - Muse (my goto song when I'm down)
@DJDarren I know you have more than enough suggestions so far but I just had to add Alt-J's sublime cover/not cover of The House of the Rising Sun
@DJDarren
Late-ish suggestion and I know you already have a long suggestions list so feel free to skip it. 🙂
Jimmy Buffett's cover of Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl
#ThePlaylistSuggestion
@DJDarren I've finally decided on my choice, so I'll keep it brief as per usual.
I nearly went for Season of the Witch by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, but if no one else has suggested it, then Hey Bulldog by Fanny.
Yes it causes a titter in the male dominated Gascoigne house, but it's bloody fab! #ThePlaylistSuggestion
And also....
Matthews Southern Comfort - Woodstock
Peter Bellamy - Nostradamus
Two very different covers:
Chelsea Williams - Runaway Train
The Jam - David Watts
@DJDarren I like an album from Gregson & Collister - Love is a Strange Hotel. 12 tracks, covers of songs by Jackson Browne, Springsteen, Hank Williams, Aztec Camera, Merle Haggard. My choice from it is:
Things we do for love (10cc)
This next one is not really one for the show, but check out Hendrix's live version of Sgt Pepper he did a few days after it came out. They put it together in the dressing room before playing it in front of McCartney
@DJDarren oh and reminded this cover of 50 Cent's "In Da Club" which might well amuse 😁
@DJDarren #ThePlaylistSuggestion
Stina Nordenstam - Purple Rain
Micah P Hinson - Suzanne
Peter Gabriel - The Boy in the Bubble
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
I would like to propose Prince Fatty's version of Cypress Hill's "Insane in the Brain", not just to lift the mood a little, but also 'coz it's a banger:

@DJDarren I haven't seen this mentioned but it was the first one that came to my mind:
All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix
The difference between Hendrix's version and Dylan's original is huge - he took a Dylan song that I don't really want to listen to and utterly transformed it. Cracking.
@DJDarren
#theplaylistsuggestion
I'll try to keep to three:
White Stripes- Jolene
Camera Obscura - Super Trouper
My Vitriol - Toy Soldiers
I spent most of this afternoon with the Skatune Network playing, but it's hard to pick just one with them, and they're more fun in video than audio only
@DJDarren I’m very predictable.
Muse - Feeling Good.
But I’ll also offer up:
Gary Jules - Mad World
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse: Valerie
Sinéad O’Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
@DJDarren oh, that's not enough Prog? Go on, then, I'll dig out a few more for #thePlaylistSuggestion 5/4 (d'you see what I did there?)
Prog List
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Delilah (Tom Jones)
Fish - Boston Tea Party (The Sensational Alex Harvey Band)
Rush - The Seeker (The Who)
Marillion - Six Months In A Leaky Boat (Split Enz)
The Magic Numbers - A Little Man And A House (Cardiacs)
@DJDarren #ThePlaylistSuggestion
Okay just two more, and I think that takes me to a total of five suggestions. Restrained enough, I hope!
🎹 Deco - Bitter Sweet Symphony
🔥 Shirley Bassey - Light My Fire
#theplaylistsuggestion ooh I love me a cover.
I find them fascinating . To paraphrase @Jennyback you can judge how good a song is by its covers.
So my submissions for consideration
Portisheads stark cover of ABBA S.O.S https://soundcloud.com/portishead-official/sos
The Slits' Amazing cover of Marvin Gaye' Heard it through the grapevine
https://song.link/ie/i/1196519709
Torre.Florim of DeStaat covering the Prodigy's Firestarter
https://song.link/i/557533449
...god there are so many more but I'll be good.
@DJDarren or failing that, Pat Boone's easy listening cover of No More Mr Nice Guy.
The whole In A Metal Mood album is a deranged masterpiece
@DJDarren ooooh...
Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)
Madonna - Ray Of Light (Curtiss Maldoon)
Soft Cell - Tainted Love (Gloria Jones)
Johnny Cash - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails)
@DJDarren I feel like there is every possibility I've suggested this for something in the past, because it is one of the best and most ridiculous things that has ever happened, but Pat Boone's easy listening cover of Enter Sandman
