I'd just die to see them incorporate anything Bowie-related. I've always adored Bowie, but after hearing his China Girl interlude in NOIS, I was left wanting so much more...

1. LA Woman-The Doors
2. Caravan Holiday-Stereophonics
3. Eldorado-Neil Young
or
One Week-Barenaked Ladies, that'd be a laugher :thumb:

I always remember seeing when Rush received a lifetime achievement award at the Juno's. They showed clips of a bunch of bands saying congratulations. They actually showed a clip of The Hip in a recording studio doing an absolutely amazing version of Limelight. I would love to see them do that.
And Gord if you are reading................lol.................I think the Hip should take hold of the idea of a Canadian tribute CD to Rush, similar to the Gordon Lightfoot one.....but please please reserve Limelight for yourselves................lol

Satisfaction- The Stones
Downtown- Neil Young
Spin the Black Circle - Pearl Jam
Some covers I've heard like "Barstool Blues" and "Train Kept a Rollin" are great! "Sweet Jane", "Black Day in July", and "Fortunate Son" are pretty good too.

Some good picks here. The Bowie thing's certainly an interesting idea. Here are my picks, and there are four, because I can't narrow it down:
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald -- Gordon Lightfoot
Cortez the Killer -- Neil Young (have they covered this live?)
Subterranean Homesick Blues -- Bob Dylan
Midnight Rambler -- The Rolling Stones
... and for Gord solo, because it's really not a "band" song:
The Piano Has Been Drinking -- Tom Waits
