What are the songs you would like to hear covered by JA ?
No need to remind how good JA is/was/has been to cover classic songs... Rock'n'roll, Sympathy, Ripple, Don't Call Me and a few live takes all speak for themselves.
Also, I personally always found a kind of continuity between JA and the long history of rock'n'roll (from the glorious seventies, to punk, post-punk new wave and goth, nwobhm, etc.).
When JA came out, I remember thinking it was a kind of fusion of them all (Led Zep and The Cure as obvious examples). JA was reconciliating the broken pieces of a whole thing, connecting things that went separated ways in the late 70's and it was great. And perfecftly done.
For whatever reason, I find something familiar with Iron Maiden's Wrathchild in Mountain song. I could not exactly say why (bass-centric stuff for sure). Pigs In Zen is based on a riff that you can find in many places (even in ZZ Top's Fandango! from what I remember).
All that to say that I just gave a listen to Iron Maiden's Killers album a few moments ago. I must say I usually don't come back to this band, at least I didn't during the last -let's say- 40 years (since I was a child/young teenager). And listening to Prodigal Son, the connexion seemed obvious (musically speaking, not talking about the lyrics).
Does it make sense ? I don't know. But I could hear JA covering it.
What would be your call ? Are there any songs that you would suggest JA to cover ?

I don’t know, that’s interesting….?
Vortex Surfer by Motorpsycho would be weird and maybe cool.

Always thought something by the Cure would be a great fit, especially Lullaby.
Re: What are the songs you would like to hear covered by JA ?
It’ll never happen but I always thought that Fascination Street would be a good fit for a Jane’s cover. I’d love to hear Eric banging out that huge bassline and Dave layering spacey guitars on top of it…

I've always thought the Stones' song "Miss You"xwould be a good one for JA to cover.
Steely Dan- Do It Again
Echo and the Bunnymen- Lips like Sugar
One that Perry+ Etty could do together is 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers' (Barbra+ Neil)

I had to dig Killers out…. Yeah, I hear it. That would be great!
Re: What are the songs you would like to hear covered by JA ?
I once dreamt that I went to a Jane's concert and they covered Purple Rain. Perry butchered it (apparently even in my dreams he's hit-or-miss :p) but Dave nailed the solo.
I watched Oliver Stone's The Doors a couple of months ago and that go wondering if a similar type of biopic would work for Jane's and how a version of The End by Perry and the boys would sound.
