Alkaline Trio could do Automatic

Snuff could do I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man

The Hives could do Peach

Sonic Youth could do A Love Bizarre

Leatherface could do Erotic City

JT Money could do Face Down

Pixies could do Computer Blue
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I always thought it would be cool for TLC to cover Anotherloverholenyohead. With T Boz singing lead.

It wouldnt sound right to me no matter who does what. I couldnt listen to any bluegrass or country versions of any P music. That goes or any other pop, rock or hip/hop artists. It took me forever to warm up to One of US or Betcha By Golly Wow. I know how everyone feels about "Every day is a winding road".

thanks... i was trying to cover a lot of genres... i originally thought "anotherlover" would sound good performed by angry female singer (that's why Avril) but actually, after re-thinking it, i think i'd go more funky with "anotherloverholenyohead" and do some kinda big P-Funk performance featuring George Clinton, Bootsy, Outkast, Ice Cube, and some others -- I can see them really grooving with that beat.
