The Admiral Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Currently enjoying BC from a sunbed in Majorca, and following the Covers band top ten with interest. Some kids a few beds down started shouting, so i stuck the iPod on, and hit shuffle..... which gave me the idea for a combination thread. Could you get an interesting covers set out of the first ten tracks on your MP3 players shuffle function? Mine 1. Shaking the tree : Peter Gabriel 2. Hangnail : Nickelback 3. Warsaw : Them Crooked Vultures 4. Don't get around much anymore : Rod Stewart 5. Starlings : Elbow 6. West End Girls : Pet Shop Boys 7. Don't lie to me : Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan 8. Travelling Riverside Blues : Robert Johnson 9. Gimme Three Steps : Lynyrd Skynyrd 10. Desert Rose : Sting Well, it beats Mustang Sally and Alright Now I think!!

[/quote] no question its a nice list to listen to but I doubt they would all fill the dance floor at a wedding though, and thats a big part of being hired.

JTUK Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Not a fan of random and prefer more continunity in a set. We need/want the songs to sit well with each other...otherwise it is like throwing mud against the wall hoping some will stick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
