Songs you never want to play again

[colgraff]

This is inspired by the Mustang Sally thread.

I would choose:
All Right Now
Sweet Home Alabama
Mustang Sally

[Hobbayne]

I dont mind playing them. Although SWA bores me rigid, the punters love them.

[paul_5]

Not really bothered, I'll play owt!

[bassbiscuits]

In addition to the selection above I'd go for...

Get it On
Champagne Supernova
Lucky Man

Please no...

[bassbiscuits]

Weirdly as some one else has pointed out - I did all three of the original choices in a wedding gig a few weeks ago and the punters loved it!

oh well.

Agreed. There are certain songs that [b]I[/b] hate playing, but I assume the reason we play in public is to satisfy the punters ?

[LiamPodmore]

Teenage Dirtbag and Stacys Mom. I've played them too many times in my life to ever enjoy them.

[tauzero]

Red Red Whine
Dance the night away

Fortunately they're in the set list from a previous band, and I can cope with doing them on the occasional dep.

I find 500 miles totally groan inducing but the punters seem to love it.

Yeah - I'd put Oh Well on the list too.

[mrtcat]

All of the below turn my stomach. I dep quite a lot and when I get pub "classic rock" bands approaching me I know that pretty much all of these will feature and it makes me sad. Oh well - think of the cash.

[b]Can’t Get Enough[/b]
[b]Alright Now [/b]
[b]Born To Be Wild[/b]
[b]Paranoid[/b]

This and Sit Down , I cant stand, but if I find them on a functions set list, the best thing to do is go with it.

[Bilbo]

Guess. Go on, guess.

[Cosmo Valdemar]

Sweet Soul Music. HATE HATE HATE IT.

We still play Mustang Sally at weddings as it always goes down a storm, without fail.

Who did that one? Never heard of it

[PaulWarning]

I'll put up with most things if it gets the crowd going, if that doesn't float your boat maybe you should just rehearse and never do a gig, I would happily never do Nellie the Elephant but the crowd loves it, if they're pissed enough

[colgraff]

I agree with most nominations. Obviously I would always play anything as we are there for the clients but there is a mental distinction between pleasure and duty!

[jonsmith]

I've had to play the original 3 within the past year and I'd quite happily not play them ever again. However I accept that I'm there to entertain & that happy punters mean a happy venue owner. This means money, beer & repeat bookings, so I grit my teeth and get on with it. I do find that I derive a lot of pleasure from a big crowd of people dancing and singing along to stuff I'm playing and all three of those songs have provoked that sort of response regularly. I scored quite highly on mrtcat's list too, I'm afraid.

[Nicko]

Cant get you outta my head.

All right now is actually one of my favorite songs to play, the other I dont find especially offensive either. The only song on my personal no-way-on-earth list is "rocking" in the free world (quoted because Id be hard pressed to think of any song that "rocks" less than this one) .

Something to with bodily gyrations and inert orbital masses.

I'll guess its that "Jazz" song

[elephantgrey]

I was in a band once that did a cover of canon in d. Im pretty sure that Pachelbel hates bassists.

[Woodinblack]

Ever fallen in love. I never liked it as a song anyway

[Slipperydick]

Wonderful Tonight

Black Magic Woman

Still Got The Blues

Dancing in the Moonlight

Summer of 69

Apache

All Right Now would be on there but I have never stooped quite that low and always refused to play it. Once, when looking for a covers band I ran an add on Partysounds with the line 'anybody who wants to play Alright Now or Apache needn't bother to contact me.
