I joined a music league last year and it's been a lot of fun (and occasionally quite frustrating). I admit it's intimidating to think about joining a music league with you but if you're looking for players, and open to lurkers I'd be interested.
That's a great list of covers, and the discussion about "what makes a good cover song" is always fun; I agree that it's most interesting when the cover changes the context for the song in a way that makes you hear something different.
(One example that I like is Peter Tosh's cover of "Johnny B. Goode" which, to my ears makes the character into a bit of a John Henry figure -- talent of mythic proportions, but it leaves you feeling like it won't end well. He will be a hero but, unlike Chuck Berry's protagonist, his rise to fame carries a weight and responsibility).
I’d love to join if there’s room! 👋🏻
Always! Until there’s not.
Perfect! 🤩
Perfect timing. Next song is due by tomorrow

Discovering some female groups and mixed bands from you guys. Finding that very helpful for my women in rock list!
Enjoyed the cover band conversation.
Brilliant. Thanks for reading/listening
Glad we could help with your list

Great point! And I agree. Peter Tosh does/did a great job
Lurker turned comment maker is always a good thing.
Have a brilliant Friday
Thanks and, as I say, if you are interested in having another person in the music league, DM me information on joining.
Cool. I think I did this right. https://app.musicleague.com/l/d75d6b95669041e4b8e4a69e61bc343a

Have there been any notable covers of “Cover Me”? It’s literally asking for it!
True. I know this one. I’d have look for others. https://youtu.be/deewiui3tJI?si=Wf67ijO-OzDNEfL2
