I don't play in public nor do I sing, but if I did both, I would have "American Pie" in my set list.

I play primarily at parties and family gatherings. These are some of the songs that I like to think are in the "sweet spot" - that is, songs that both younger and older generations can appreciate and sing along with.
Free Fallin' - Tom Petty Summer of 69' - Bryan Adams Shine - Collective Soul Give A Little Bit - Goo Goo Dolls/Supertramp Home - Daughtry One - U2 3 AM - Matchbox 20 Photograph - Nickelback Bad Moon Rising - CCR The World I Know - Collective Soul December - Collective Soul Slide - Goo Goo Dolls Fresh Prince of Bel Air - Will Smith

I heard a nice acoustic rendition of "Everlong" by Foo Fighters. Its all power chords, and in drop D... should take all of 5 minutes to learn.

Easy Pub Songs:
Here are some sure-fire crowd pleasers most everybody knows. They're also incredibly easy to play. Be careful with them though, cause if you lay it on too think you'll come off pandering or veer into karaoke zone.
Sweet Child of Mine Used to Lover Her But I had to Kill Her Every Rose.... Don't Worry Be Happy Because I got High Last Kiss What's Going On? Free Falling Mary Jane's Last Dance Stay (Just a Little Bit Longer) Hide Your Love Away Sweet Caroline Blister in the Sun Mellow Yellow And of Course ... the immortal American Pie |

Wow! I was going to post my set list and see if I could get some ideas on more tunes. Then I found this thread! Yikes, now I have at least 15 new songs to start working on. You guys rock!
Much of my set list is already on this thread but here are a few more for ya all have easy chord progressions and most have vocals you can either drop an octave or reach with no problems: Up tempo: Lola-The Kinks Have You Ever Seen The Rain-CCR Ziggy Stardust- Bowie Mothers Little Helper- Stones Psycho Killer- Talking Heads It Don't Come Easy- Ringo Starr Cool Change- Little River Band All Along The Watchtower(I can't believe this wasn't listed already) Story In Your Eyes- Moody Blues Signs-5 Man Electrical Band/Tesla Space Oddity-Bowie Star Rider-Foreigner From The Beginning-ELP (great acoustic intro, sounds awesome but is simple) Not so up-tempo Turn The Page-Bob Seger Wild Horses-Stones Let It Be-Beatles Working Class Hero- John Lennon Brain Damage- Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here- Floyd The best song in my set so far is Harry Chapin's Cats In The Cradle. Hope these are useful! |

Up tempo
Up tempo? You want uptempo?
Try "Wipeout" -- the crowd can play the drum solo(s) on their tables Everything will work out perfectly |
