That's a nice suggestion. I will also throw out the following:
Queen
Police
Zeppelin*
Anything from a Les Claypool project
Pick an old punk band (Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Ramones, etc)
I'd suggest Rush as well if I didn't think it would get me laughed off the board.
And I always thought your previous Elvisfight (Presley or Costello) idea was a good one.
*"Stairway to Heaven" would be disallowed.

I'd do one although I must confess that the Marley idea is my least favorite. I like Elvis vs. Elvis, that'd be neato.

Ok, pick one at the top of this page. Democracy rules. Poll ends 8/30. Winner announced 8/31. Coverfight starts 9/1. Ends 9/30.

I voted for Elvis/Elvis but I'd be cool with the Bob Marley fight too.

Elvis & Elvis seem to be pounding Bob Marley and the Wailers. Where's the love for Jah?

If we do the Elvisfight, I think I know what song to do:
"The Angels Wanna Wear My Blue Suede Shoes"

I dunno. Was almost starting to smell like a Dread Zeppelin fight.
