Play that funky music White Boy ( I hate this song but the crowd still loves it )
Can't get enough of your love by Bad Company
Dirty Deeds by AC-DC
There's a few more but I'm too ashamed to admit that I still play em. I'll play anything, I'm such a whore.

Guess that makes me a whore too. SAME DAMN SONGS.

Also, whenever I start laying out the bassline to 'Brick House', the place goes wild... sadly none of the bands that I play with do this

Ditto on the Mustang

We do Brick, tho. Everyone loves it.

I always got a great reaction out of
'She's so Cold' by the Stones. We used to nail that song. GCF

Any Stones for that matter.
Heartbreaker was a good one. Em Am
Start Me Up. Bb - F
Dance Little Sister Dance - easy, but a great jammin tune. A-D

Dancin' in the Street B

But
'Everybody's Workin for the Weekend' by Loverboy used to tear it up pretty good.

Some Kind of Wonderful by Grand Funk Railroad...if you can find a key to sing it in, you are a chick magnet...I met my wife in the key of D!

Mark Farner of GFR never got his due.

I have to agree with a previous comment about the women in the club. They are who you need to motivate. Make them dance, and you will have a rockin show.

Song 2 - Blur...you know, the "Woo Hoo" song.

We almost always play that first, people run towards the stage to listen. We have also had some success with these:

She Loves Me Not - Papa Roach
For You - Staind
Crawling In The Dark - Hoobastank
My Own Worst Enemy - Lit
When I'm Gone - 3 Doors Down
The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
Tomorrow - Silverchair

-Mike

Would it kill you to play a little FogHat?

Anything by Air Supply gets my vote. Nothing says crowd participation like Lost in Love, Here I Am The One That You Love, I'm All Out Of Love. There won't be a dry seat in the house!!

 

[tplyons]

Creeping Death, there's nothing like a fist pumping crowd screaming die!!!

 

[Ben Jammin']

Around the world - Red Hot Chili peppers (brilliant for staring a gig 'cos of those super powerful bass notes at the start)

Wake up - Rage against the machine (everyone will reckognise it from the matrix, and it sounds cool)

Black Velvet works very well I've found.
Another vote for brick house and play that funky music.

Superstition by S.W. is good as well.

AND THE ALLTIME BEST CROWD SONG IS.............
