I adore Joan Baez but instead of DR, I think her masterpieces like "Honest Lullaby" and "Marriott, USA could actually be perfect covers for Lisa (but especially "D&R" since we all know who that one was written about).
Not sure these are fit my perfect cover but there are two songs I always find myself going into naturally when I sing along to Damo because they fit so seamlessly (a la the medley of "Never/Always on My Mind") :
1) Right after the big build up of "but I guess I can waaaait" in YSBH I hear a perfect transition to "Don't Get Me Wrong" by The Pretenders.
2) In the aching piano outro in that legendary extended version of AB I automatically jump into "When You Were Young" by The Killers.
I guess I'd love to see him try to pull off Neil Young's "Thrasher" since it probably gets my vote for the most profoundly breathtaking song ever written.
