Good Songs To Cover

[Ace Of Spades]

I think Snoop Dogg's, Gin & Juice would fly better if brought to acoustic

Ain't nothin' But A G Thang, would work too under the right key.

I love the idea of an acoustic rap song. Not sure if i'd have the balls to rap though. Maybe a rap song with a melodic chorus would be cool. Or maybe I could change it up to sing the rappy bits. Definately would be a challenge though which is what i'm looking for!

Sorry, that's kind of what I meant. I didn't mean for you to actually rap the song, but do a singing cover .

Sevendust - Angel's Son

i heard a cover that totally amazed me. K T Tunstall doing 'get your freak on' by missy elliot. mega.

most songs by the Verve sound good acoustic. how about stand by me, the original one john lennon covered, not the oasis one.

What about 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman?

i saw ace of spades has replied, and that reminded me

you must have seen that mint kronenbourg ad with motorhead chilling int eh frnech bar, busting out ace of spades to a harmonica. the tempo they play it at suits the song hugely, one of the best 'alternate versions' of a song ive heard. i wish i could find the full track somewhere.

I quite like Underdog acoustic cover, kelly rowland did a pretty nice version of it.

+1 on oasis, strum away lol

Love anything by the Red Hot Chili Peppers too, especially under the bridge
