Left-field crowd pleaser: Does your mother know - Abba

It's surprisingly fun to play, and works as a rocky number too.

SOS works well too

Any Springsteen love here?

Dancing in the Dark, rocked up. No keys necessary - one of the most recognisable hooks in rock, easy and fun to play on guitar. Accessible & a great crowd pleaser for the gig.

It’s one of the very few covers my band does and it goes down brilliantly - I’d love to do it

cool. how do you do it? got any audio/vid?

We’ve never recorded it actually - but we do it straight. Acoustic guitar, drums, lead, bass and keys..

Used to do it too... could probably snag an organ pedal from somewhere and pretend to know what i'm doing if there is no proper Mr.Keys on the day

I'd love to try it guitar driven. I don't think the studio version does the song justice. Could be a great rocker.

I reckon we could have time to try it more than one way if it makes the cut, it's not complicated, in and go.

Put me down for paradise city.

@thomasross20 That is actually doable. If you be Slash, I'll be Izzy! We need someone to sing it though.

I just made myself feel old. Appetite was released 31 years ago

Just don’t accidentally buy a captain scarlet 

Snags

If it's Hawkwind can't we do a real one?   Needle Gun, Magnu, Hurry on Sundown, Dragons and Fables, Space is Deep, Kings of Speed (which absolutely isn't identical to Needle Gun no no no no).

Or chuck in a Calvert? Urban Guerilla anyone?

I don't have a bass cool enough.. but i do have a disturbing amount of bullet belts, bandana's and spandex.. and a bass.. so i'm in!

If no-one else volunteers first I'll sing anything so don't worry about that.

If we get Mary to turn up just as you're about to start singing, you'll sound just like Axl.

I think we need to be prepared to segue straight into some Barry White just in case, keep me low and cool...

Yep for Paradise city - just need to brush that one up - haven't played that rhythm for 15 years!

djspecialist

I hope it's OK to suggest a few songs even though I'm not able to come to this particular jam...

Always On The Run - Lenny Kravitz

Chemistry - Semisonic

Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young

Radio Free Europe - R.E.M.

The Killing Moon - Echo And The Bunnymen

What's The Frequency, Kenneth? - R.E.M.

World Shut Your Mouth - Teardrop Explodes

I've played all of these in a four-piece (two guitars), and I reckon most are pretty easy to get a handle on.  I have basic song sheets (lyrics + chords) which I'd happily share if they would be of any use.

How's your high Db coming on? Gonna need some tight pants to reach those heady heights. In fact unless you can convince people to tune down to Eb, which usually doesn't go down too well, it'll be a high D. 

Axl does present a vocal challenge.
