any suggestions? im real bored and it occured to me,... why not make a cd out of it with only the songs that come around once in a while

if you go to pearljam.com, you can go to song list and sort by Covers and then see how many times they've been played...

they've only done dock of the bay once, but it's probably the best cover i've ever heard them do

Soldier of Love is much better.

it looks like someone started drinking already

soldier of love is good, gotta include the essentials(Crazy Mary, RITFW, Baba). And I'd throw in a good version of Crown of Thorns.

Nah, compare both originals with their respective covers. Otis' version of Dock of the Bay is a beaut. The original Soldier of Love sucks ass; Pearl Jam made it a great song.

SoL wins.

i've never heard the original solider of love, i'll take your word though. otis reading's version is great, i heard the pj version first though i still like pj better

sonic reducer is a good one, especially from an early 90s show. i've got you is great. they also played a few cool covers w/ some guy in chicago last year. i forget the guys name, something plant?

Let My Love Open The Door.

My list:

People Have the Power
Soldier of Love
Know Your Rights
Timeless Melody
I Got You
Fuckin' Up
Dock of the Bay
Walking the Cow
Waiting on a Friend

In no particular order.

Throw Your Arms Around Me

you know i have smething similar to that because the first time i heard baba was PJ covering it...so ive always liked it more than the whos original. i know a lot of people would disagree with that, but i just think PJ does it better...

does a tag like its okay count as a coveR? cause that'd be my vote for your mixtape

I'm surprised no one mentioned Masters of War yet.

I've always really enjoyed Ed's cover of blue, red, grey.

Trouble and Don't be shy both by Cat Stevens.

i kinda dig the covers that sound like they could've been written by pj themselves. they outdo themselves on the 3 minute punkers like sonic reducer, i believe in miracles, and the american in me.

i hope that one day a studio version of rockin' in the free world surfaces. soooo many bands have covers of it, but not one version has ever been better than even the shittiest pearl jam take on it.

i like this list. i'd add gimme some truth to it.

yea, where the fuck is masters of war people. c'mon now.

Ive made a few mix cover cds
one with the "punk" songs
one with the "protest" songs
and one with the "oldies"

but im going to break up the "protest" songs one of these days, and have one disc of the Eddie only / duet / acoustic covers, the other with plugged in protest covers. Mostly because it will allow me to use the 92 Masters of War (on the acoustic disc) and the plugged in 06 version on the other.

But I also did toss on a version of Long Road I have from an REM concert featuring Ed and Mike... one of my all time fav versions of that song.

THink I might end up making one with Ed with other bands too, to put on those doors covers, and Who covers some where.
