I used to sing in a band about 14 years ago. And we did classic and alternative rock. Grunge was big then, and would probably go over well with the thirtysomethings out there. And since we were a Canadian band, we were required by law to cover some Tragically Hip =)

One of my favourite bands to cover was the Hoodoo Gurus. We did "Like Wow-Wipeout" and "Dig it Up" . Those were good tunes with some great energy.

I also loved covering Julian Cope's "Spacehopper", the Pixies' "Cactus" and Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane".

If I were to be in a cover band again I would definately add some Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion and The Cramps to the mix.

None of these songs/bands have a high recognition level, but they rock the camels ass!
