Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys,

I'm in a pop/rock/funk cover band.... I'm going to suggest some songs to my guys and I'd like them to be out of the following bands list. I'm looking ofr something fun to play with bass but as well that would sound good in our context (electric drum, bass, guitar, keyboard/guitar, a lady as singer)

I'm throwing soem ideas, but I'm open to suggestions:

Pearl Jam - we play "rearviewmirror" already, what can I add?
The Cure - Never Enough? Fascination street?
Red Hot Chili Peppers - we play already Dani California... I was thinkign maybe Soul To Squeeze, any suggestion?
Ben Harper - Glory & Consequence?
Jamiroquai - Love Foolosophy?

Also, if you want to throw some funky ideas, they'd be welcome!

"Rio" by Duran Duran, or anything by Duran Duran if you have keys and guitar.
"Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More- would sound cool with a female singer

Also, "Captain Fantasy" by Ween- simple, but a little different.

The Pretenders are always a good choice in that respect.
