Best Clash song they never wrote:

[hutch]

Rolling Stones - Wild Horses (Gram Parsons)

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

so this is not a cover per-se, but a song written by someone else for them?
or are we just talking covers, like All Along the Watchtower where the cover is better than the original?

I think (s)he means a song written and done by another artist that could have been a song by the more popular group. I'm not sure I agree with the choice of that (great) Scud Mountain Boys song, but it seems like that would fit the subject line.

This. Not covers. Originals that, if you didn't know better, sound like a better known artist.

I'm not saying I'm a walking music library by any stretch of the imagination, but this kind of thing often happens when you have a partner who is less of a library than yourself. Not that there's anything wrong with that. You'll be playing Sturgill Simpson and she'll be like "Oh is that George Jones?"

*Note: I actually don't really like Sturgill Simpson and personally think he sounds more like Waylon Jennings (who my partner wouldn't recognize) than George Jones (who she would use as a common catch-all for classic male country artist voices) but that's the best example I could come up with early on a Tuesday.
