Here ill throw in my own contribution to the growing list of people to cover by suggesting this ludicrous style to cover. I think sinatra would be perfect for the stones to cover, they already played the nearness of you, which is in the easy listening category and since they are the longest surving group, why not play something by one of the longest surving entertainers? I think something like "Septmeber of my years" might be good:

One day you turn around and it's summer
Next day you turn around and it's fall
And the springs and the winters of a lifetime
Whatever happened to them all?

As a man who has always had the wand'ring ways
Now I'm reaching back for yesterdays
'Til a long-forgotten love appears
And I find that I'm sighing softly as I near
September, the warm September of my years

As I man who has never paused at wishing wells
Now I'm watching children's carousels
And their laughter's music to my ears
And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near
September, the warm September of my years

The golden warm September of my years

A perfect song about growing old and aging. Of course they could do the standard "my way", if this is there last tour. What are youre thoughts?

I can just imagine Keith's solo spot in the show next tour with him crooning "Thats Life" backed by that horn section.


well, its no more potentially outrageous a selection than "nearness of you" seemed a couple of years ago!

stop it!

Potted Shrimp: this thread was meant as a joke, sorry if it came off bad. I mean we have threads on ludicrous groups to cover (e.g pink floyd) so i thought id start one on a music genre farthest from the stones.

I got the joke......
