Chris Daughtry

Well, we can sure get the beginnings of an answer to that question just by looking at a couple of cues he’s already given us.

For one, Daughtry has given us all some deep insight into their taste in (other people’s) music by coming up with an iTunes Celebrity Playlist. On this list are 15 songs that Daughtry loves listening to and that you and I, if we don’t own already, should go out or get online and buy. (Don’t steal music, Chris doesn’t like it.)

And incidentally, before I get to the list, iTunes published this on December 26, 2006. I’m not trying to pass this off as new news. But I want this blog to be Total Daughtry, and it wouldn’t be without this in here somewhere.

So here it is:

1. Lakini’s Juice by Live
2. The Day I Tried to Live by Soundgarden
3. Them Bones by Alice In Chains
4. Soldier’s Daughter by Tonic
5. In Memory by Shinedown
6. Save a Prayer by Duran Duran
7. Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
8. Jóga by Björk
9. With or Without You by U2
10. Nature Boy by Nat “King” Cole
11. Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers
12. Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2
13. Helicopter by Bloc Party
14. There’ll Be No Teardrops Tonight by Hank Williams
15. Forever My Friend by Ray LaMontagne

I like to imagine how Daughtry would sound covering some of these tracks, which brings us to the second taste our favorite American Idol has treated us to of his taste in music - and that’s the songs they’ve been covering in their current tour.

The first is Nutshell by Alice in Chains (there they are again!) and the other is Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter(which they actually only play a snippet of in concert, but still…)

Of course, to hear how Daughtry would sound playing these, all you’ve got to do is get tickets the next show nearest you.

Anyway - what covers would you like to hear Daughtry record and/or perform? Comment below - I’d love to know.
