one of my bands drummers bailed on us so we're going acoustic, did our first acoustic gig today, went allright but we need a larger set list and i was thinking about how difficult it was to come up with the songs we have so far, trying desperately to find acoustic songs that were well known or would go down well that could be pulled off without sounding too thin so the line up is two acoustic guitars, two shabby backing singers and a bass, any bright ideas for covers??

You can never go wrong with a bit of Counting Crows, just as long as you've got a singer that can pull it off. I'd also check out some Neil Young, 'The Needle and the Damage Done' is a fantastic song.

I'm sure I'll think of more. I've just got up, my mind's not working much yet.
