Oooh, how's that one go over? Since I lived in Texas for a while, I wanted to do that one and tell the audience it's about me.

Just started doing it, but so far, pretty well.

Which of these is most "modern?"

Slither - Velvet Revolver
Bad Girlfriend - Theory of a Deadman
Survival of the Sickest - Saliva
I Hate my Life - Theory of a Deadman
Always on the Run - Lenny Kravitz
Bitch - Meredith Brooks
Give me One Reason - Tracy Chapman
I'm the Only One - Melissa Etheridge
Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi

Because everything else we play is from between 1956 (Long Tall Sally,) and 1979 (Comfortably Numb,) with the bulk of it being from between 1969 and about 1975.

I'm so proud to type that!

You should see her sister and her roommate.....

Back on topic... We've just added Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song" to our set. Not as new as the "Locked Out of Heaven" that we added last week, but important because I sing lead on "Lazy"

I doubt if our band does anything from this century, and are pretty unlikely to do so.

Going by when the song was originally written, it would be Shannon Curfman - I'm Coming Home (1999). Pretty steep drop in years after that.

Our most modern tunes are probably

Country Girl Shake It For Me- Luke Bryan
CrazyTown- Jason Aldean
Country Must Be Country Wide- Brantley Gilbert
Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy- Big-N-Rich

And we just started working on

The Only Way I Know- Jason Aldean w/Luke Bryan, Eric Church


I actually sing all of these.

we're mostly an original indie rock band, but when we add a couple of covers, the newest consistently-played cover is "lazy eye" by silversun pickups (2007).

I was forced to play Psy Gangham style whatever as a temp bass player some time ago... Still don't get it that cover bands no synths want to play EDM music, but hey you could always make 'em funky.
