I don't play many covers but I quite enjoy getting up at Open Mic nights & just jamming old country standards. I backed some guy from Louisiana recently on my upright which was great fun.

I've been going between Siberian Khatru and Fela's cock as my mobile ringtone for the past 5 years


There are actually only a handful of songs that I don't like and would refuse to play.

It never ceases to amaze me how many songs that are unbearable to listen to are really good to play.

BTW I dislike Robbie with a passion but that song's OK

This is boring I know, but I don't love or hate any numbers I play. As long as the band's good, I love [i]performing[/i] all numbers. A good performance is the objective. I would happily play all the numbers listed so far, even Bilbo's!

As long as they're done well, I'd also love to play all the numbers on the "songs you hate" thread.

[lowdown]

There are a few above already said.
But i will add.
Smooth - Santana/Rob Thomas
Chicago song - Sanborn.
Rosanna - Toto.
I keep forgetting - Michael Mcdonald
Night in Tunisa - Dizzy Gillespie. [ And the Chaka Khan cover]
