    Oasis already killed that version, but PJ would slaughter even that.
    If you ask me, there is no Neil Young song PJ would not perform 10 times better than he ever has.
    But who am I to say....that's just me. Not a big Neil guy
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    How about Pochahontas? Vedder could make it his own (although Johnny Cash might've beat him to it)... :D

    I'm the Ocean.

    Dammit, someone has to play these Mirrorball tunes.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Like a Hurricane

    Cowgirl In the Sand or Down By The River would be kickass tunes for them to jamout. Heard a performance or 2 from the Mirrorball era and they rock.

    I saw Neil and PJ at the Reading Festival on the Mirrorball tour, they did a great 15 minute Cortez The Killer.

    I'd love to hear PJ play Down By The River or Revolution Blues

    Neil actually played that on their Greendale tour here. I always that was kind of a throwaway song, kind of like Dirty Frank for PJ. He also played Country Home, one of my favorite Crazy Horse tunes.

    Powderfinger anyone? They would kill it!

    I love powderfinger....and, yes, PJ would kill it but not sure it would be the best pick from Neil's catalogue (IMHO).

    My My Hey Hey is fun to play, but I often screw up on the intro guitar part.
    I like to cover Old Man, Needle, and Long May You Run.

    I always found the picking on Needle to be as challenging as not bitching/laughing when my girlfriend watches Dr. Phil. :|

    i always thought the flaming lips would do a great version of 'a lotta love'
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
