SUBJECT:	If you, like PM, did a cover album of early music influence, what would they be? Back to Subjects
Roll Tide Jul 08 2011 at 3:29 PM	Off the top of my head, and I’ll omit any duplicated by PM like Girl from Ipanema 1. Green Onions by Booker T. 2. Superstition by Stevie Wonder 3. Inagaddadavida by Iron Butterly 4. Love Train by the O’Jays 5. A composition from Gary McFarland like Soft Samba. 6. Last Train to Clarksville by the Monkees 7. Satin Doll by Duke Ellington. Again, this is quick and off the top of my head.

Dazedcat Jul 26 2011 at 7:38 PM	"Fall On Me"-R.E.M.
Roll Tide Jul 26 2011 at 8:51 AM	eric, great tune. I included one similar to this - Good Time Charley’s Got the Blues
eric Jul 23 2011 at 7:33 PM	Adding to my pervious list Glen Campbell "Wichita Lineman" I played this in a trio for a while - what a great tune to stretch out on...
thehague Jul 20 2011 at 1:56 PM	Well, a couple of great tunes not mentioned before (I think): Unchained Melody and The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.
tilbanup Jul 19 2011 at 9:23 PM	The Warmth of the Sun by the Beach Boys. Moonlight Mile; Rolling Stones
BobSmith Jul 16 2011 at 8:51 PM	I think Joni’s song Court and Spark would be a great vehicle for Pat’s baritone as it lends itself to the big strum, open tuning, various dissonances and is also already idiomatically suited to solo guitar.
eric Jul 16 2011 at 8:13 AM	James Taylor - Carol KIng "Up On The Roof"" Stevie Wonder "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" Pat Metheny Group "Eighteen" Jaco Pastorius "Teen Town" Gilberto Getz "Corcovado" Young Rascals "What Is The Reason" Steve Reich "Music For 18 Musicians"
thehague Jul 13 2011 at 2:58 AM	An album of Keith Jarrett’s music (preferably a collaboration, ok then let’s have Charlie Haden and Jack Dejohnette participate as well) is much needed and long long overdue. Some other songs terribly and urgently in need of a PM rendition: Up up and away (in my beautiful balloon) and (Somewhere) Over the rainbow, being two of the most beautiful pop songs ever written. And of course as said Beatles and Sinatra (Johnny Mercer’s compositions etc.). I wouldn’t mind a boxset. Bring it on!
Roll Tide Jul 12 2011 at 4:03 PM	What I did was try to think of songs that moved or empowered me - sometimes I was only 5, 6, 7. I certainly could have come up with a "hipper" list, that’s for sure! I grew up in a house where my mom loved Frank, Jobim, and swinging Big Band jazz; my older sister exposed me to 60s psychedelica; and my dad, in a very understated way, loved Country and Western and Southern gospel. Even in my early teen years I could listen to KISS and Barry Manilow all in the same evening. lol
HAMBONE Jul 11 2011 at 12:29 PM	1 Cast Your Fate to the Wind, Henry Mancini, 2 Tijuana Taxi,Herb Alpert,3Groovin, Little Rasclas,4 Good Day Sunshine, Beatles,5 You Really Got Me,The Kinks,6The River, Santana,7Cant You Hear Me Knockin, The Stones,8 Low Spark, Traffic,9 Sittin By The Dock of the Bay,Otis Redding,10Light My Fire, The Doors
Dazedcat Jul 11 2011 at 9:01 AM	Pete Townshend tunes, either Who classics or solo.
thehague Jul 11 2011 at 7:48 AM	What about an entire album of Jobim renditions and another one solely consisting of Sinatra songs, performed on the guitar. Pat, Tom and Frank have in common that they have never ever been surpassed by anyone, in their genre.
bluepno Jul 10 2011 at 8:10 AM	bachrach,jimmy webb,metheny/mays,
wright Jul 09 2011 at 2:28 PM	I agree that more Beatles’ music would be good, but maybe Angie and Under My Thumb would be Stones’ ditties that Mr. Metheny could interpret. And, throw in Wipeout and Green Onions for good measure.
-m Jul 09 2011 at 2:00 PM	Oh my...let’s see. Cream: I’m So Glad, Traffic: Dear Mr. Fantasy, Dave Mason: Only You Know and I Know. Joni Mitchell: Troubled Child, Jimi Hendrix: Manic Depression, Richie Havens: Freedom, Bert Jansch (Jimmy Page) Black Water (Mountain) Side, Keith Jarrett: Sorcery AND Pat Metheny: New Chautauqua.
