I was thinking about this today as I heard Paul Rodgers singing on the radio. I bet STP would do a GREAT job covering Bad Company or Free. Scott's voice is similar to Paul's, and both bands excel at crunching rock anthems. Imagine them doing "Feel Like Makin' Love", "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love", or "Bad Company", etc!

Any other nominations?

Scott kicked ass on some GNR this summer! Patience, It's so easy, Mr. Brownstone.

I always thought Scott was awesome on It's So Easy.

Pink Floyd

during one of my favorite STP recordings, House of Blues March 2000, he wants bright lights turned off because they are trying to be Pink Floyd and not Ricky Martin. great stuff. plus the Shine On You Crazy Diamond cover leading into Vasoline  is phenominal!

Pea- Ah shit, that's too easy.

I think if they covered a song like say, "Man In The Box", it would go really well. Can't think of anything that hasn't really been said....

Anything by "Army of Anyone" or "Talk Show"  heh heh, but on a more serious note...
Their "Revolution" was one of the only truly great Beatles covers that I've experienced - usually it's just sacrilege...

I'd love to hear them doing some Steely Dan. That would be neat.

I don't know, but I sure would love to hear that cover of Ministry's N.W.O. that they did.

I think they could cover just about anything.....All of the covers they've done have been amazing.  In some cases STP's version has been better than the original.  I think Dancin Days is way better than the original.  But I'd like to see them get back with Jerry Cantrell and cover some AIC.
