So, me and pandancer were discussing Glee, and how awesome it would be if they did a Matchbox 20 or Counting Crows or Augustana theme episode, and how those would be the only theme episodes that I would be okay with at all. And over the past couple of episodes, since about Furt, I've been compiling a list of Counting Crows songs that I think would be good

Reasons? Well for one, we already know their voices sound amazing together. (See: One Love) Like you said, they can totally pull off the mellow-song-with-a-serious-message thing. And if for some ridiculous reason, the writers don't want it to be a duet with Artie (which would be a shame because I really do love Kevin's vocals), Puck could still rock it out. Seriously, I'm almost convinced that this song was made for him. He's got the perfect roughness to his voice for it and I can just see him standing there, strumming to his guitar and giving everyone a feel-good performance and expressing important message behind it at the same time. (And Adam Duritz was born into a Jewish family. I'm just sayin', Puck.)
Santana and Brittany doing the female vocals would only make it 10x better. Because I love me some Brittana, and Santana owned it at Sectionals when she performed Valerie and do I even need a reason for wanting Brittany to sing with her? It's HeMo. I mean really.
Also, I think this song is perfect for Cory's voice, and as much as a love Cory (which is lots, cause he's adorkable), there aren't many songs that are good for his voice.
^THIS. Cory is such a lovable dork and the show wouldn't be the same without Finn but imo, his songs are very hit-or-miss. It isn't that he can't sing, his voice is just suited for certain songs. (I will say, however, that I thought he did a great job on 'She's Not There' and 'Hello, I Love You'.)
That said, Colorblind would be perfect, fot both his voice and because the lyrics fit so well. Plus, the show could use a ballad or two with all of the upbeat stuff they have been doing lately.
AND OH MAN. ROUND HERE. I LISTENED TO THE SONG AGAIN TO TRY AND PICTURE IT AND OUCH, MY HEART.
I want this so bad now. Like, it wouldn't have struck me as a Karofsky song if you hadn't mentioned it, but it really is perfect. And Max and Chris singing together? Be still my heart, guh. I've heard people say that as a Kurt fan, I should hate Karofsky for all that he's done to him, and you know what? I do to an extent, but unpopular opinion time: I'm Team 'Karofsky Redemption'.
Max is a freakin' walking teddy bear with one amazing voice just waiting to be heard beautifully alongside of Chris' wonderful voice, and the way he portrays Dave is amazing and sad and all of the shy little smiles and the excitement he showed during the superbowl episode remind me that he's human too andand I DON'T EVEN KNOW. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO EVENTUALLY HUG THIS BOY AND HELP HIM STRAIGHTEN HIS CRAP OUT AND COME TO SOME SORT OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN HIM AND MY BB KURT, AND I WANT THIS SONG TO BE A PART OF THAT. SO BAD. AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO SHUT UP NOW AND STOP GOING OFF-TOPIC.
To sum up a ridiculously long comment: I want all of this on my TV screen, please and thank you, RM. Because heck yeah Hanging Around and group numbers and plot-developing duets and Sam and Quinn being adorable to one of my all-time favorite songs. And heck yeah run on sentences.
Sometimes I can't get over how lucky they got with this cast. They're all brilliant at what they do and get along with each other and despite the show's faults, you can hardly ever pin it on the actors. It's especially surprising when you think of how young they are and how new some of them are to the business.
