My husband commented on how cool it would be if Nelly Furtado sang some of Stevie Nicks’ songs. I thought it was a neat idea, which led to thinking how she would redo some Fleetwood Mac stuff. Then we thought of recasting all the voices and accompanying arrangements. So- pick three singers, at least some of whom must also write/arrange music, and what songs they would shine best on.

I see it going a couple possible ways.

Nelly Furtado, Dave Matthews, and Paula Cole. Hold Me, Monday Morning, Tusk

or for a harder edge,

Alanis Morissette, Chris Cornell, and the chick from Evanescence. The Chain, Go Your Own Way, Little Lies.

Thoughts?

Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlain, D’arcy Wretzky and James Iha.

Well, they did Landslide well.
