That's sort of lame, lol. You wouldn't want to use the spot on something completely original?

Hey Streetlight covered They Provide the Paint on 99 Songs...that is a Tomas Kalnoky song too.

1. Fake Empire (The National)
2. Green Onions (Booker T & the MGs)
3. City of the Dead (Clash)
4. Wish I Could Fly Like Superman (The Kinks)
5. Compared to What (Les McCann & Eddie Harris)
6. The Ills (Mayer Hawthorne)
7. Powderfinger (Neil Young)
8. You Send Me (Sam Cooke)
9. What Difference Does It Make? (The Smiths)
10. Barbed Wire Love (Stiff Little Fingers)

Not in album order...just the order I thought of them.

fake empire would be solid

this man speaks the unfortunate truth of streetlight.

Made an edit...replaced look on the bright side with Don't Take Me For Granted by Social D:

01. Pints of Guinness Make You Strong (Against Me!)
02. And The Battle Begun (Rx Bandits)
03. Stir It Up (Bob Marley)
04. Promised Land (Bruce Springsteen)
05. Rudy Can't Fail (The Clash)
06.Can't You Hear Me Knocking (Rolling Stones)
07. American Girl (Tom Petty)
08. Walking in Memphis (Marc Cohn)
09. Don't Take Me For Granted (Social Distortion)
10. Words Written Over Coffee (The Riot Before)

I wanted to go with stuff that would be out of their normal genre of music. I mean, it would be awesome to hear what Gaslight could do with a classic reggae song like Stir It Up, the same with Rudy Can't Fail. We already know they do a good job with American Girl.

Walking in Memphis comes on the radio where I work all the time, and I always think it would make an awesome Gaslight cover.

Do I even need to explain why Don't Take Me For Granted would be perfect?

Some of these seem likely (as in Brian/the band has already covered them), others are just what I think would be cool:

01. I'm on Fire (Bruce Springsteen)
02. Lost in the Supermarket (The Clash)
03. Baba O'Riley (The Who)
04. American Girl (Tom Petty)
05. Knockin' on Heavens Door (Bob Dylan)
06. Kids and Heroes / So Jersey / Ghosts on the Boardwalk (Bouncing Souls)
07. Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart (Against Me!) - maybe with the girl who sang in Blue Jeans.
08. Letters to Elise (The Cure)
09. Teras (Communication Redlight) - as mentioned above, you can cover your own song. Plus this version wouldn't be acoustic.
10. Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin) - for shits and giggles.
