Crowd Pleasers
Cover songs are a great way for new bands to have songs to practice and play, before they have songs of their own. There are certain songs that get much more of a reaction out of the crowd then others. I’llexplain more about the point of covers in the next section, but you basically want a song that people know. Good covers songs include big songs by The Beatles, The Ramones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Guns N Roses, Green Day, Tom Petty, and others. These songs range from easy to complicated, so be careful, their not all for beginners.
