The new band I'm allows every member to pick two new covers a week—a nice fair, system that assures that everyone gets a fair share of the list. For the first few weeks, just to stack the sets, everyone was tossing in old favorites we've known for years. It got us practicing fast, but now we've picked way too many hard rock, classic rock, and alternative covers. We're never gonna get the club gigs if we don't play some dance-floor stuff! Sure, we'll all have a great time in practice playing our favorite songs, but if we don't get the club gigs, It's a waste of time, energy, and money.
They're asking for my picks for the week. It's been a while since I was in a Top-40/club band and I'm outta touch. You guys in working cover bands: What are the hottest new dance-floor-friendly covers out there now. What's packing the dance floor and getting all the chicks singing along?
