The current covers (3 piece) band I’m in is stuck in a rut on what songs to add to our set list, and in need of inspiration to add new songs to freshen up our set list.
Currently we play a variety of rock songs....with the current set list including Nothin but a Good Time (Poison), Wishing Well (Free) through to Walkin by Myself (Gary Moore), Love Gun (Kiss), Rock the Night (Europe) amongst others........basically anything that is fun to play and listen to
Ideally we want to add around another 10 covers to freshen up the 30 (ish) songs we already have, and ideally looking for relatively ‘quick wins’ that are not too technically demanding so we can added them sooner rather than later...
Any recommendations?

I had a bit of Planet Rock on in the Van today. Good idea would be to go onto "Recently Played" on P.R Website for a few days and things will be presented to you rather than scouring your memory for songs.
Rory Gallagher, Shadow Play.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man
Purple Rain try Aynsley Listers version, simpler.
