    One of the best covers ever is Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” by Social Distortion. Please cover Social Distortion’s “Ball & Chain”

    I have already suggested this song…but it was awhile ago 🙂

    Harvest Moon by Neil Young or Kiss by Prince (it could be awesome).

    Or you could just keep playing your own songs 🙂

    I was thinking Blackbird- The Beatles would be awesome

    I’d like to vote for Social Distortion, too. I think “Ball and Chain” would be a great one to cover. Also, “Love Vigilantes” by New Order would be awesome as well.

    I loved the crystal ballroom concert and from the war songs you did i got the idea that it would sound really awesome if you guys and girl did “funny the way it is” by Dave Matthews band. it would be the awesomest thing ever but there is no keys or violin in it so it would sound even better if you improvised…………

    I really love when you cover classic, timeless songs like Johnny Cash or Springsteen. One song that has always given me goose bumps is

    Bridge Over Troubled Water – Simon & Garfunkel.
