I'm a guitar player, and i'm just wondering, what are the BEST songs to hear someone do live at a bar? I'm talking cover songs that will get most people singing and/or at least recognize the song?

I personally love "walkin' in memphis" but i'm not sure that qualifies...
margaritaville?
5 o'clock somewhere...?

Can I be frank with you? (rhetorical)

If you are capable of writing a song, you should. Cover bands cause me great pain in my guts.

Tribute bands on the other hand.....I love love love.

Destroyer - The Kiss Tribute
Rawbones - Ramones
Nearly Neil - Neil Young.

I'm a sucker for that stuff.

However, you deserve an answer, so here's some songs I have seen cover bands do that seem to make people who like bad music really happy.

Pearl Jam - Alive
Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline(PUKE PUKE PUKE)
Nickelback - How you remind me - I can hardly type, I'm so angry right now.
Any band that sounds just like Nickel Back, Creed, Three Days Grace, insert serious sounding name to weak ass fucking lyrics, and stolen guitar riffs.
The Ataris - Boys of Summer ( I know not their original, but people seem to like it)

If your band is talented enough to pull off a zeppelin song, you should. I don't love Zeppelin either, but they sure could fucking play.

Oh, if you can, absolutely ruin "wish you were here" by Pink Floyd. Not only does everyone love it, but it gives the frat boys a chance to distract their ladies long enough to get the roofie in their drink.
