Summer Breeze, hands down.

If you love me like you say (albert collins) in blues band. Moving on (bad company) in my rock group.... because the bass parts are so awesome!!

Dwight Yoakam - Fast As You

 

[Pauly 4001]

I've seen those posts, but I'm asking about something different. Not just the songs I like or songs that get stuck in my head - but the songs in the set that I get excited to play.

Hey! I started that thread and as a matter of fact I was listening to Coverdale Page earlier this morning more or less guilt free. I did try playing the album in front of my 64 year old wife the other week and it didn't go so good.

John Fred and his Playboy Band/Judy In Disguise

Ah, the good old days of AM radio! Loved that song when I was maybe 12 years old. First time I think I paid attention to a bass line. Never covered it in a band though.

I have been wanting to play Judy In Disguise for since I started playing and have never done it in a band either.

Wish I could remember the name of the number I’m thinking of. Oh well, I’m old.

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

I know there isn't a lot of bass in that song, but that's what makes it fun, because there's room to improvise and create your own fills.

Had to go to that link and like his youtube... the guy only has 318 views... I think he deserves more.

I think I'm gonna win with this one:

"Can't Ya See".

Not actually on a setlist but I wish it was...

My guilty pleasure is Yacht rock. You can't tell me that yacht rock doesn't take you to a special place.
Quintessential yacht rock songs
Sailing, Summer breeze, Sentimental lady.
Plus yacht rock has really good bass too.

Such a perfect song - her voice is so good with so much attitude, the 60s had such great vocal performances in pop music. Another favourite of mine is:

Confucious said that to know a number was easy, but to know the name of the number was to discover the path to enlightenment. Well he didn't actually say it, and maybe he didn't actually mean it, but I think that message is clear.

they're all "guilty pleasures" for me --- there are a few tunes on our setlist (chosen by horn players!) that i'm not crazy about, all the rest are so much fun i should be arrested for 'excessive exuberance'!

i like our version of if you don't know me by now, but everyone else in the band hates/avoids it. i think it reminds me of waltzing-while-drunk --- what's not to like? our version is somewhere between harold melvin and simply red, plus we're instrumental, so there's plenty of room for drama, statements, and jammin'!

Another vote for Living on a Prayer - awesome bass line.

 

[edencab]

what's not to like...horns and choreography, groovy beat, great bass hook, pure happiness (note: I'm a dyed in the wool Zep, Stones, Beatles, Floyd rock n' roll kinda guy)...don't tell the guys in the band

Four years ago I started playing with a jazz guitarist/singer and for the first time in 50+ years of playing with others I look forward to playing every single song in all eight set lists we rotate through. They're all guilty pleasures for me.

One of my all-time favourites
