Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Kate and Will bring a fresh new sound to the quartet.

The Hanson Family - former fresh faced teens turn their hand to songs about death and depression (actually many times when I've mentiond the Handsome Family to people they've done a double take thinking I meant Hanson - must improve my diction)

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - "just need your extra time and your ... beard"

Pixies Lott - dunno, but it'll probably end up on an advert *shudder*

Lady Gagary Glitter - Call Interpol!

The Dead Weather Girls - It's raining goths, Hallelujah it's raining goths...

and the Barry White Stripes obv.


not quite on topic, but the Red Hot Chili Parpers could either be brass band or 'petomane' versions of their songs. Either would be an improvement on the original.

ooh and the Brotherhood of Manowar!

GWARge Michael....

Bo P Diddley – A forlorn shepherdess mourns the loss of her flock with a bluesy number that’s been interspersed with sub standard raps to capture a contemporary audience: ‘ uh, she don’t know where they wander, worrrd, to the kebab shop over yonder, yer hearrrr’
