I'm in a 30+ band and we play everything from Neil Young to The Killers to Nirvana. I'm looking for some favorites that we could work on to add to the gigs......Something to keep tjhe crowd entertained and involved.

I used to play the drums.I have found some of the best crowd-pleasers (not to mention easy as hell) are by The Best cover band of all times "THE CRAMPS". The lead singer believes if your going to cover a song, either copy it note for note OR completely rearrange it.
look for the album 'gravest hits'

I'm in a 30+ band that focuses on harder rock, we've had very good responses to:
T.V. Eye - Iggy and the Stooges
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Liar - Sex Pistols
Black Diamond - Kiss
Mr. Crowley - Ozzy
Running Riot - **** Sparrer
Suffragette City - David Bowie
Black #1 - Type O Negative
Somebody Put Something In My Drink - Ramones
She - Misfits
21st Century( Digital Boy) - Bad Religion
...and yes, Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young
Remember, give the songs justice and play them YOUR way if you want!
As long as it rocks, they'll dig it.
Have fun!!!

I am in my early thirties and I enjoy hearing bands cover songs from the eighties, but with an edge. Don't play them note for note they way they were played in the eighties. A local band in St. Louis did a cover of Duran Duran's 'Rio' and they killed it! If your audience is roughly the same age as you, they will appreciate a few of these songs mixed in with the newer stuff.

take some inspiration from Radio 1 Cover Album some may not be you cup of tea but others are simply amazing, I hear that "all i want for christmas" is a good song to cover for a rock band. MCR did it and it sound pretty good!

Sammy Hagar's "Tequila",Trooper's "Raise a Little Hell",Bryan Adams' "Summer of "69,are all appreciated by all ages and for a slower pace the Stones' "Memory Motel" and Mark Cohn's "Walkin' in Memphis' appeal to a cross section of ages & types
