Cool, I've never heard of anyone covering the Cosmic Psychos before.

that was one cover we played almost every show.

the Psychos are good guys. We spent an entire weekend with them (two gigs and a radio performance) when they were in Boston. They used our gear and rocked the shit out of the Middle East. And WMBR.

I just heard that Smokin Robbie died in July. That sucks.

Whitesnake - "Here I Go Again"
Beyond - "Ancient Head"
Everly Brothers - "Cathy's Clown"
Buddy Holly - "It's Alright"

EDIT:

Minutemen - "Vietnam", "Shit From an Old Notebook"
Neanderthal - "Built for Brutality"

Here Come The Warm Jets (fun to play drums on that one)

i knew i forgot a couple...

"leave me alone" by new order
"here come the warm jets" by brian eno
"any christian lion hearted man will show you"- the bee gees
"lucky man"- ELP (with moog solo and all)


might be more...

We did Big Black's Deep Six in a high school battle of the bands. oooo, so bad, so very very bad.

Then recently there was Have Love Will Travel by The Sonics. Did the saxaphone solo with a memory man. That one was fun.

All of our songs never really got titled, we call it the name of the band we ripped off and call it that.

Now its going to be our first show since last June and we're trying to work up a cover within a week just to have something new. So far its down to a ACDC medley (Beatin Around the Bush and TNT are the suggested one's so far), Method Man by The Wu Tang Clan, and Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I wish we'd choose.

LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out
John Denver - Leaving on a Jet Plane
Shellac - Pull the Cup

I'm pretty sure I have an old Estrus compilation with The Derelicts doing this exact tune... it's pretty rockin', and I'd love to hear the original sometime...

The Bismarck has covered (and performed a couple times):

-The Cigarette Lighters-Silkworm. Ike turner and Tim Cook have both helped us sing that one.

-Final Solution -Rocket from the Tombs -with our 3rd favorite transvestite "Anita Goodman" singing.

we also had at one point practiced AC/DC's 'Dog Eat Dog' and got halfway through the Stooges' 'Shake Appeal'....but neither really panned out.
