Which three of your sets goes down the best?

I appreciate that not all of the bands even care if anyone gets up for a boogie -depends on the type of music you play -but....

If you can only pick three, which either goes down the best, gets everyone up or, gets a HELL YEAH when you finish it?

# Posted by Idle Promise - 19/04/2010, 15:11 (GMT)

Karen
Chris loves Scouting for Girls and even provides Cds for the rest of us to listen to in an attempt to get some of their songs into the set. Its not happening.

# Posted by Kingpin (Keith) - 19/04/2010, 15:15 (GMT)

Musicfan-you obviously aint! PMSL

# Posted by SKP - 19/04/2010, 15:18 (GMT)

Keith - you haven't listed ur top 3??!!

# Posted by Kingpin (Keith) - 19/04/2010, 15:22 (GMT)

I knew you would ask that, really tough because its easy to go for the end of set songs but I guess I would have to say..

Mustang Sally -Every man and his dog
Mr Brightside -The Killers
Sex on fire - KOL
Im sure the band would take issue with this but these seem to get everyone going

# Posted by Idle Promise - 19/04/2010, 15:31 (GMT)

Karen
Believe it or not I have never heard you play it. I still have never seen your second set. I know its a disgeace but things keep clashing and I never make it .

@ Keith: simple we ignore it! ha ha, sounds pretty good without but we share the parts out between lead & bass guitars! I just desperately wish people would stop asking for MORE Glee songs... :(((

John

# Posted by 53 Degrees North - 19/04/2010, 17:26 (GMT)

@Kingpin - we've been playing that Ataris version of Boys of Summer since we started playing together - it's always the last song (before encores), and it always goes down a storm!

Mick

# Posted by Delirium - 19/04/2010, 19:58 (GMT)

Aye, Fool For Your Lovin goes down very well at the end, especially if we've just played a load of modern stuff beforehand.

Jon

# Posted by Face It! - 19/04/2010, 21:53 (GMT)

Tough to say, but I suppose

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight..tends to get the slow dancers

The Jam - Town Called Malice always goes down well

And I suppose The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again gets a good response, I don't think we've had a 'hell yea' but something similar...

# Posted by The Cottonhouse Shakers - 20/04/2010, 01:44 (GMT)

Valerie - our version is in a jazz bossa style.

Rocker - AC/DC

Hurry on Sundown - Hawkwind

# Posted by Kingpin (Keith) - 20/04/2010, 10:30 (GMT)

@ Anthem, anything from Rush gets my vote mate!

Love to have a go at xanadu
