TimR Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Inspired by another thread and the festive season I thought we could have some fun creating a traditional End of Year Top 40. The thread will be open until New Years Day when I'll collate all the replies to our very own BassChat top 40. So: What tunes does your band play (any genre) that you are sure loads of other bands play? What standards do you play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'll start with some of ours: Brown Sugar All Right Now All Along the Watchtower Purple Haze Superstition Jumping Jack Flash I'll add more as I remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) It's been a long time since I've been in a covers band, but I'm up for listing a few from my last function band, if that counts? Proud Mary Valerie Superstition Mercy (The Third Degree Version) Soul Man Come And Get It Keep On Running Time Warp (yes, I know... ) Edited December 1, 2014 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgie Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Selection from my last band. Pretty Vacant Blitzkrieg Bop Teenage kicks Tommy Gun Can't Explain Rockaway Beachhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 We're only doing a few that I think others would want to do. Pretty Vacant and American Idiot are the obvious ones, Kids in America, All the Small Things and She Hates Me would be my next suggestions of popularity. Do you want the rest as well, or will those 5 suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should create a simple shortlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Just to clarify. The aim is to find out what songs are most played by BassChat members. So the songs should be songs you are playing that you think other Basschatters are playing in their bands. If what people say is true Dakota will probably end up being number one...
