What songs get people going from your set?

"Your Love" - The Outfield

One hit wonder from the 80s. Man, that song follows me to every single band I play with. (I sing it.) I can't do a single gig without having to do it at least once.... even in a COUNTRY band.

Here it is.

Mustang Sally, twist and shout, Mony Mony,

 

[Feral Feline]

1) 16 Tons

2) Fever
(we play it faster and quite differently than the typically copied "Peggy Lee" version of it)

3) Key To The Highway

 

[Bunk McNulty]

A Tommy Castro tune called "Like An Angel," which is not on anyone's Top 40 list, but we play the sh*t out of it, and the audience reaction never fails to amaze me. We often say at rehearsals, "If we just had 40 more like that one..."

I've got the music in me-Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker.
I wanna take you higher - Sly & Family Stone
Valerie- Amy Winehouse
Say a little Prayer- Aretha
I was made 4 loving you-Kiss
Knock On Wood- Either Eddie Floyd or Aami Stewart version for us.
Get Ready-The Miracles

"Reelin' in the Years" - Steely Dan

Seems to work on crowds of all types. Go figure.

 

[tzdroik]

My band plays both kinds of music -country and western. The crowds love mamas broken heart by Miranda lambert, pontoon by little big town, and - of course - can't you see

The songs guitarists hate and are always trying to come up with an excuse to not play.

 

[5StringThunder]

We play modern metal, djent type stuff. But we play the King of the Hill theme song right before we bust into our last song, that always fires people up.
