Now that would be something!! I reckon Thom Yorke & Neil Young have more in common musically than we realize. Or is it just me??

"No Matter What" should be done by The Shazam.  They do some great covers here and there on compilations (ELO's "Daylight" for example).

Those guys are a killer band.

I'd like to see "Paperback Writer" done by Jason and the Scorchers.

Master Of The Universe by Hum, The Hawkwind original is great but it would be cool to hear a more up-to-date Heavier Space Rock approach. Also Free Bird by Polvo, I don't like the Lynyrd Skynyrd version, but Polvo had a really great sound and they could definitely make it their own.

I'd like to hear Bailter Space do 'Yummy, yummy, yummy'. I'd like to hear Sleater-Kinney do it too. And Big Drill Car.
