I have decided on 'Light up My Room'.

i've never listened to a whole lot of BnL... but i'm really excited about tryin' my hand at this...

I'm in for the 12th. Word up.

does anybody who's familiar with my musical stylings have a suggestion for me? i've been too lazy to listen to the CDs i have and pick a song (and also i only have three of them, so maybe there is a better song out there somewhere.......)

I'd love to hear Voice try "Spider in my Room."

"Am I the Only One" off of Maybe You Should Drive
"In a Nutshell" off of Maybe You Should Drive
"Arms Around Me" off of Gordon
"Conventioners" off of Maroon

Hey Bortwein, I think I'm going to be pulling out of this project. I have always loved the song I chose and thought I could do a decent cover, but as it turns out, the song's not as awesome as I remember it and my cover would not be very good either. I'm not a BNL fan, but if someone knows of a song that might sound good as a FBF cover, let me know and I'll check it out. Sorry.

i listened to 30-second clips of each of the songs that have been suggested and none of them really grabbed me... i will try to seek out full length versions of the couple that aren't on albums i have, and see what i think. but at the present time i am leaning towards taking "too little too late" into a totally unbarenaked style. we shall see.

I'd really like to see you stay in this one, I love your work and I was really looking forward to hearing your cover.

Just off the top of my head maybe listen to: I had a tie for #1.
1. War on Drugs - Album: Everything to Everyone
1. Light Up My Room - Album: Stunt
2. Life, In a Nutshell - Album: Rock Spectacle (I like this version better than the Maybe You Should Drive version)
3. Sell, Sell, Sell - Album: Maroon
4. Shoe Box - Album: Born on a Pirate Ship


EDIT: added songs
Really good song.

okay, let me see what i can do.

EDIT: These are all really good songs. I can do one of these. Don't know which one yet--I'll let you know.

Sweet.
I'm in for "Go Home" from Maroon unless someone else has a better suggestion.

Also, judging from your coverfight entry, "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel" might be up your alley.

Good song. Glad to see you joining in.

Sidenote: I updated the above list in my previous post. I'll repost it later if we go to additional pages.

argh. okay i have changed my mind for the last time I PROMISE.

generic sent me a copy of the song he requested for me ("spider in my room") and i am eager to attempt to tackle it.

Okay, I was kind of leaning in that direction anyway. Er, I mean....FOR YOU, ANYTHING!

Whatever, sign me up for covering "The Old Apartment," possibly with Blue, until such a time as SOS declares they're going to do it.
