Songs for my band to cover?

[Guinness21]

This isn't a particularly serious project, more of a regular jam with mates with the possibility of gigging long term. We all like heavy rock, but the singer has quite a limited range. Whilst we all share the same music taste, they're set on covering quirky songs and putting a spin on them.

So far the set is:
- Saturday Night, the Misfits
- Radar Love, golden earing
- The Chain, three days grace
- Whiskey in the jar, Metallica
- No easy way out, robert tepper
- 69 Tea, Seether

We used to cover Monkey Wrench but the drummer was unhappy doing it, so now all Foo songs are written off.

So hopefully from this admittedly brief lsit you can get a sense of the kind of songs we want to play. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Are you doing drop d for Mr. Vocal? If so, van halen, pant era etc. may be the way to go,or even thin lizzy.
Normal tuning ; ufo , scorpions . Rivers of Babylon ,is a song I've always wanted to cover

We played monkey wrench in drop d and the chain too but I thing those are the standard tunings. I don't think we've had to change key yet. Can you send me a youtube link to that song please ray?

Prime Mover or Backseat Education by Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction, both great quirky rock tunes!

Cracking suggestions, cheers mate!

If your vocalist has a limited range he might struggle with 'Saturday Night'...

Cosmo, maybe i shouldn't have said that then as he doesn't struggle with Saturday Night,
