Whose the last artist (not including rap) you'd want to her cover GL?
After moving the other day I was going through my music and I thought of this question. Gave myself several answers too and of course
......spent the whole night talking to myself!  LOL!
These are just a few I'd shudder to hear:
KISS doing "Gotta Get Away"
Cher doing IYCRMM
Aerosmith attempting "Sit Down Young Stranger"
and Elton John trying his piano hands at "My Love For You"
back with more later!

-Scooter doing ANY Gord song (Good band, but they mix with GL like oil and water).
-Nickelback doing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
-ACDC trying to do Whispers Of The North??? HORRIBLE.
-Garth Brooks doing Harmony

I'd forgotten about Brittany Spears. It would be like a "spear" to the ear hearing her do a Gord song.
The Spice Girls doing Shadows

Gord trying to sing Canary Yellow Canoe in concert today. (Does he still sing it?) He'd have a rough time with his voice the way it is. :o

I know Chuck could pull it off,what I mean is "him' having a hi with it instead of Gordon.
To continue:
Shakira doing "Go-Go Round" or "Baby Step Back"
The Knack make a comeback by covering "Daylight Katy" "knack-style!"
Bobby Sherman (Or even Bobby Goldsboro) comes back too and ruins "The Watchman's Gone" LOL!
Metallica making meatal music out of "Triangle". Noooooooooo!!

I'm amazed Jimmy Buffett hasn't covered 'I'll Do Anything' from Shadows. Heck, it already sounds like a Buffett song.

That's one of those songs that completely stands out from all other GL songs. It makes you wonder did Gord originally record/write them. (Not dissing Gord or taking credit from him, I'm just saying they sound different, but are GREAT!!!) Rainbow Trout is another one that stands out.
