Woodinblack Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1488639440' post='3250689'] The whole band really likes playing the Atari's cover of The Boys Of Summer, as a group that's probably our favourite. [/quote] Used to like doing that in the last (short lived incarnation of) band. Favourite tends to be something that gets people dancing rather than something I like, so Timber (party like verison), or Brown Eyed Girl (Reel big fish version). Actually gay bar goes down well.

RickyV Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 At the moment I would say either Bigmouth Strikes Again or Eton Rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 [quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1488906965' post='3252841'] Playing in a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute, I like Hey Tonight. [/quote] We have started playing a heavy version of Dark Moon Rising which I love (but the bass.ine is a bit boring). But my favourite is Teenage kicks which is odd in a way as despite being a massive fan of punk stuff I was never that big a fan of the Undertones. It's just great to play full blast and we mix it up a bit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Forrer Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 In my Americana band it's Paradise by John Prine. In my vintage rock n roll band it's Down The Road Apiece by Amos Milburn. In my jazz/blues/funk band it's maybe Pennies From Heaven (standard) In my country rock band it's Miles and Miles of Texas by Asleep At The Wheel.

PaulWarning Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I enjoy doing Slades Merry Christmas, we only do it about 3 times a year which is probably why I don't get fed up with it, lovely walking bass line, I also enjoy the intro to Swords of a thousand Men, because it's a bass intro and I don't play a shuffle beat any other time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuNkShUi Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Survivor by Destiny Child. Its a cool arrangement and the crowd always seems to enjoy it. I'm guessing it's not a song many people cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vantagepointrocks Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 We are just starting to learn a covers set, at the moment I’m enjoying, Bad Reputation by Thin Lizzy and Hell Bent for Leather by Judas Priest the most in rehearsal, but I assume my favourite may change when we get to playing live. As for when we play originals, favourites to play live are, 24 Hour Breakdown & Gripped by the Throat, we would never play either in rehearsal anymore though.
