Modern Covers for a TRIO?
 
I am putting a new band together and we want to do a mix of classic and modern hits. The classic stuff is easy to come up with but I am not overly familiar with dancy modern stuff.

Here are a few I came up with:

Billie Jean - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kBNIL_CPcw
Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-fA-gBCkj0
MOVES LIKE JAGGER - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=3&theater
SINCE YOUVE BEEN GONE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBdjlz8je94
One - U2
Seven Nation Army
Bad Romance - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=3&theater

Any other ideas for modern 3 piece covers?

What kind of vocalist do you have?

It'd be helpful to have an idea of their range and timbre.

He has a John Mayer vibe, but he's open to most styles.

I would like my 3 piece band to learn Gold On The Ceiling by The Black Keys

This thread made me realize that most of the modern stuff I've done which has gone over the best either requires a female singer or a guy who knows Spanish, Portuguese and/or Korean, but definitely do some Sean Paul. I'd start with "Temperature" or "Get Busy".

Sean Paul has terrible grammar. :D

LOL, yeah, and it does make his lyrics kinda hard to memorize. But it's still easier than "Gangnam Style" or "Danza Kuduro"!

We are a three piece with a singer, we do Super Massive Black Hole by Muse, seems to go over well. We also do Harder to Breath by Maroon 5.

I think you could do just about anything if you can make up fewer instruments with all three singing.

Forget you. Sunday morning. Mooves like jagger. Bad romance. Love game. Just dance.

sex on fire is still working pretty well for us

also that Fun song, we are young, but we have a sequence we use for the piano and whatnot.

We recently added:

Locked out of Heaven - Bruno Mars
Lonely Boy - Black Keys
Gloom and Doom - Stones

They all keep people dancing and/or singing along.

Definitely Black Keys.
