Title: Cover versions
Post by: Neville Sherman on November 26, 2011, 01:20:57 PM

Just been told by Doc that Mark does not do cover versions of songs on his own records. Fair enough. Just wondering though, if he was to do such a task, what would be the top six songs you would like him to cover? Me:

1] Forever young - sounded so good, this would be brilliant
2] Comfortably Numb - great Knopfler sound at the end
3] Let It Be - enough said
4] Cocaine - EC
5] Chris Rea - Road to Hell
6] Life's Been Good To Me - Eagles
