I picked up the vinyl box of the NME's Rubytrax compilation yesterday which features a whole bunch of top bands in 1992 covering their favorite number one singles. So what I thought I'd do is give you a list of what's on the albums and you can email me if you have something you'd love to hear. Email me at steve@redrosesforme.com or post a comment, and over the next week I'll post the most requested songs here.
The choices are:

Aztec Camera - (If Paradise Is) Half As Nice (because I can imagine it would be a pretty good fit)
-or-
Suede - Brass In Pocket (because I can't imagine it at all)
I love obscure cover albums! :) I'd love to hear Sinead's track. Thank you!
I'll request J&MC doing Little Red Rooster and Ned's Atomic Dustbin doing "I've Never Been to Me" - interest in the former, just plain curiousity in the latter.
And for the love of God, dear sweet Jesus and Big Mo, do not, please do not play any Billy Bragg.
For the love of God, dear sweet Jesus and Big Mo, do please play the Billy Bragg track.
Inspiral Carpets - Tainted Love because I can't imagine it, Ned's Atomic Dustbin - I've Never Been To Me a close second.
Plenty others I would like to here at some stage but that is being greedy.
I'd like to hear the St. Etienne track. They have a way with covers
vic reeves - vienna
very very curious, i imagine it will be terrible, but i would love to be wrong.
