Bigwan Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) I've joined a new covers band (mainly to get me back into playing and gigging again) and we're aiming to be out gigging in the next couple of months. I'm looking for any MOR setlist suggestions for a band with no keys, just 2 guitars, bass and drums. Stuff that'll get the punters up and moving... We've got some older stuff covered (brown eyed girl, stuck in the middle, make me smile, etc.) but most of the stuff I've suggested playing gets shot down as the 2 guitarists (1 guitarist and a bluffer really) can't cover the keyboard/horn parts very well. Already have: Brown eyed girl Stuck in the middle Make me smile Honky Tonk Woman Brown Sugar Satisfaction You really got me 20th century boy I like to boogie Vertigo I feel good Sex Machine Can't get enough of your love Proud Mary Fortunate son Dakota Angel of harlem She's electric Glory days Hurts so good She moves in her own way Fall to pieces Mustang Sally Midnight Hour Burning Love Shook me all night long Hard to handle Jailbird Sweet Home Alabama Mr Brightside Summer of 69 Long train running Chocolate You're all i have Most of the rockier stuff is getting watered down/boogied a bit as the drummer is quite adamant that it's not going to be a 'another rock band' Edited June 6, 2008 by Bigwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allighatt0r Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 OK suggestions... Pump It Up - Elvis Costello Hush - Deep Purple I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys Video Killed The Radio Star - Boggles Oh My God/Ruby/I Predict A Riot - Kaiser Chiefs Message In A Bottle - Police Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf Dancing In The Moonlight - Thin Lizzy Not sure if any of them are any good, am I going down the right lines at all? Also, I don't think you really need to worry about the keys and horns art of a song too much, unless the song is made by the keys, more often than not they can be left out and not too sorely missed...
