Well not THAT quick... we still have a couple of months to prepare but it looks like we probably have to play at our company party, and we discussed that our current repertoire might be generally a bit too varied as we've been rehearsing together quite casually and each person brought some wanted songs to play from different genres (do you know any other band that has Dido and Iron Maiden in the same setlist?). Since it's a company party, we think that our workmates expect music that they can either dance or at least sing along to.
We have identified 5-6 songs from our repertoire that should fit well, but we have half an hour to fill, so we need to add at least 2-3 more songs. I already have some in mind to propose to the rest of the band, and I am now looking for more suggestions.
Here are some criteria we are trying to follow:
- danceable or 'singalongable' songs
- rock, pop, funk, hard rock and similar mainstream genres (not jazz, country, folk or heavy) otherwise any era is suitable
- famous songs preferably, even if they are overused, in fact "party favourites" are totally ok
- no keyboards (should be playable by two guitarists, bassist, drummer)
- no huge background vocals (we have two singers, but otherwise the rest of us would rather not sing)
- the easier to learn the better, especially for me since this will be my first gig ever playing the bass!
Feel free to suggest as few or as many as you wish, I am counting on your great knowledge and wisdom
