pickin on: an introduction, of sorts

by gregor on March 12, 2011

i used to love, and still do, the pickin on modest mouse record, and the ignorant person i am, assumed, that was the only one of its kind. yeah, as it turns out there are hundreds of pickin on compilations. who knew? clearly not me. here is a brief sample of them.

come sail away – cornbread red – styx
rocket man – iron horse – elton john
self esteem – the offspring
kissing the lipless – the shins
this love – maroon 5?
wish you were here – bill flores – pink floyd
desperado – the eagles
panama – van halen
give it away – red hot chili peppers
polar opposites – modest mouse
lodi – ccr
black water – doobie brothers

Great list – I was aware there were at least a few Pickin On compilations, like you I was aware of Modest Mouse, and one of my favorites is Pickin On Franz Ferdinand.

But I now have a new favorite – that Pink Floyd cover you listed is just great!

Ignorance is bliss! I’ve heard a number over the years. They all sound pretty damn good. This is the first time I heard the Pink Floyd one, and I agree with Jason – it’s great!
Thanks for posting these.
Regards, Dave.
