Intro and Set List Suggestion Box

[bassist50]

What's up everybody!

I am pretty new to this forum. I've checked out a few threads(mostly classifieds!). None the less, my apologies is this thread is misplaced or otherwise unusual.

Getting to the point!

I play in a...well let's call it a FUNK ROCK DANCE SOUL GROOVE band. My brother's and I have been playing for some years together under the watchful eye of our father, the mentor, and have finally decided to get our s#*t together! I am working on a set list of tunes and as I stare into the vast depths of my rapidly flickering computer screen, my brain turns to a puddle of mush.

I am looking for song suggestions from EXPERIENCED, WORKING musicians. Or anyone with half a brain for what should be played in a bar.

Please feel free to recommend anything.

A few examples from the current set list to get the ball rollin:
TOP - Down to the Nightclub
Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke, Higher Ground
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.
Dave Matthews - Trippin Billies
Gavin Degraw - I Don't Wanna Be
Earth Wind & Fire - Serpentine Fire, Shining Star
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire
David Essex - Rock On
Zeppelin - Good Times Bad Times
Michael Jackson - Black or White
Graham Central Station - Pow, Hair
Al Di Meola - Metropolitan Life
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tightrope
Muse - Uprising
Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway
Temptations - Shakey Ground, Ball Of Confusion, Ain't Too Proud
Beatles - Come Together

You get the idea. Let me know some tunes you'd like to hear. Remember to keep people dancing! Cheers!
