Les Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Nicked from another forum My main band scores 2 and my Thursday Jam Night band is practically a full house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Only two of them are on our current set list: Come Together and occasionally, Gimme all your Lovin'. Quite a few have been in the past. Hopefully they will be staying there Edited May 9, 2016 by gary mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I only score three with our band. They're not really representative of what we do, but I guess getting booked means we always have to include some pleasers. Reckon I've done about 13 of those with other bands....as a setlist.....I think I'd run a mile! (Though Black Night is still a corker in my book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I've done 17 in all, with various bands. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I scored 0 with my current covers band & an embarrassed 2 with my solo act. On the other hand, nobody ever went broke underestimating public taste.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyV Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 My band scores 1 on the current set list with 2 further that we binned quite a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Pleasingly my old covers band would have only scored 2, then trading those against The Wild Hearts "Sick of Drugs" and the Chameleons "Nostalgia" I think we came out cheese neutral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Aarrgh...5 and 4 with current bands and 11 in total.......I am ashamed.......except for Maggie May and Black Night...love playing those two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I've played many of these numbers in some very good bands. I think a [i]bad[/i] band is defined by [i]how[/i] they play rather than [i]what[/i] they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunburstjazz1967 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 18 in total over many bands, and just one currently but it's the most ubiquitous one I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) 9 in the past across 4 bands, none now, and one I've never heard of! Edit, just Googled it, know it but dodn't know the title, and never played it. Edited May 9, 2016 by Mykesbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a [i]bad[/i] band is defined by [i]how[/i] they play rather than [i]what[/i] they play. [/quote] Is of course the correct answer. Bands can make a dog's dinner of obscurities just as much as the proven crowd pleasers. I've done stints in a house band for open mic/jams so I think I've played 21 of the 25. Couldn't give a toss frankly, not even slightly embarassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Think I've done around 15 in various outfits , many of the rock ones in a classic rock set up Oddly , whilst we are fairly pop , our 80s tribute does sweet child , it always goes down well , and seems to please the section of the party that didn't get into Duran Duran or Madonna. Whilst I can't deny I get personally bored with some songs, it always surprises me that people who think they are cool come up with what you shouldn't play , these songs in the right setting get the party going , for me there is a time and a place where that's what's required. Nowt wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Very pleased to have scored '0', and plenty of wedding bookings/functions this and next year booked...although admittedly we're soul/swing/rock & roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Three in my old blues band - Wonderful Tonight (that was great), Honky Tonk Women (less so) and Mustang Sally (that the crowd, at least, loved). Whisky in the Jar in my old thrash covers band because Metallica did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
