What's a good fun rock n roll song like CCR, Long Cool Woman (The Hollies), Living Loving Maid, Rock and Roll?


Recommended Posts

ACDC sort of does them as well just a bit heavier. like High Voltage or Can I Sit Next to You Girl

I read in a magazine that AC/DC didn't want to do Back In Black originally. the opening riff was Malcolm's but he thought it was too heavy and said they didn't want to do a Led Zeppelin thing.

James Gang is really good for that sort of thing you're talking about. Try Funk #49. Not only their biggest song, but has great rhythm.

The Cure: Just Like Heaven

U2: Beautiful Day, Desire

The Beatles: Rock N Roll Music

Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains The Same

The Rolling Stones: Honky Tonk Women

Bruce Springsteen: Out In The Street

Queen: Somebody To Love, My Best Friend

Supertramp: Long Way Home

The Moody Blues: I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock N Roll Band)

Dire Straits: Expresso Love

Eric Clapton: Let It Rain

The Eagles: James Dean

Pink Floyd: Sheep

Yes: Starship Trooper

The Who: I Can See For Miles

Jethro Tull: Hymn 43

Chicago: Feeling Stronger Every Day

It sounds like the op is looking for straight forward, four on the floor, songs to jam along to.

I'm sure we've heard these before, here are my suggestions.

Get Back-Beatles

Taking Care of Biz-BTO

All Right Now-Free

Joan Jett-I Love Rock and Roll

All of these are pretty "strummy" with a minium of single note lead work a-la CCR. KISS has TONS of songs like that as does any of the poppier rock bands of the 70's like The Raspberries and Big Star.

You may want to check out more recent bands like Teenage Fanclub.
