My friends and I have started a band a year ago. We like to mess around with not too dificult cover songs. We can play Blue on Black - Kenny Wayne, Cocaine - Eric Clapton, Seven Nation Army, Last Dance with Mary Jane - Tom Petty, Beverly Hills - Weezer. Any other suggestions? We also need a good old ballad or two! LOL. Anything to get the crowd into it.

Why don't you try writing your own songs?

Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry is usually a crowd pleaser. It's so easy it hurts, but it sounds so good!
Any AC/DC song, without the solos is easy enough, and rocks the house. Kinda half-assed, but still good.
Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo by Edgar Winters or Rick Derringer
I always love a good Foo Fighters cover, Monkey Wrench or Everlong would be the ones to go with.

There are lots of great books of "easy to play" rock, pop and blues music. Go to the music store and have a look. Personally I like Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Queen and the like. I am sure that if you have a look in a music store there will be a song book that you will love and by a band you like but would never had thought of playing before you saw the book!

I follow a good band in kent www.rubberbiscuit.co.uk and choose set list from the left hand column. They're a local band that attract thousands to open air gigs. Bit of a lazy answer I know but theres some ideas there.

I don't know what's hard on the guitar and you'll definitely have to work on your voice, but I think it's time for you to hit up some Journey and Boston. "More Than a Feeling" (minus "Foreplay"), "Something About You."
Hmm. Or ... the Cars, Def Leppard, The Scorpions, the Who ("I Can See For Miles," "The Seeker"), "Spirit in the Sky" - Norman Greenbaum, "Lola" - the Kinks (funny).

Original compositions--it's hard if you aren't emo, but start off with poetry and fill in the gaps with music. If you are really unsure about your lyrical skills, try pronouncing words funny so no one will understand you, like Patrick Stump.
