Every single Misfits song!
Still love playing them all though

Also ´Liver´ by The Hitchers
and ´Where´s Me Jumper´ By the sultans of Ping FC (as they used to be known)
Great fun to play and always get the crowd going
´Good Times´ by Chic
´Thats Entertainment´ by the Jam
Gotta love ´Green Door´ (Shakey´s version) and ´Come on Everybody/Summertime Blues´ by the real king, Eddie Cochran!
´Beast with 5 Hands´ by the Groovie Ghoulies-best punk blues ever!
´Mother´ by Danzig-you could play it asleep!

Lovely to see some Diamond Head love on here!

Was I the only person in the world who loved Canterbury?

Sorry, O/T

Two little easy beauties from the Melvins:




(Entirely subjective as to whether they're a pleasure, of course. )

Rock & Roll Queen by the Subways is such an easy track to play but really great fun.

[redzombie]

Always used to really enjoy coving Nirvana's "Milk It" with my old band if we'd run out of songs. "Down" by Stone Temple Pilots is another good one.

Too right. They don't seem to get the respect I'd say they deserve. And if I had to choose one band in the world to play bass with... it'd be them. With the current two-drummer line-up (Dale Crover [i]and[/i] Coady Willis), that'd be awesome.

Of course, I'd have to kill Jared Warren to do that. :ph34r:

Haha, couldn't agree more. Hell, it might even be worth the prison time if you got arrested for it

I managed to catch my first Melvins gig at ATP last month. Now, I knew they'd be good, I've heard many good things about their live performances, but only one band (Sonic Youth in '00) has left me quite so lost for words as I was after their 45 minute or so freight train-like onslaught.

As you might imagine, I'm really f***ing looking forward to seeing them headline a show. Fingers crossed they make it back over this year

Jungle Love by The Time, is pretty easy and fun to play.

Bearing in mind I can only play about 5 songs all the way through though.
