What do you want to hear???
 

When you see someone with an acoustic guitar, what do you want to hear?

I'm putting together a big tab binder of good solid covers. I'm shooting for a hundred songs or so, because I will need some slower softer ones for a few venues and faster fun ones for the bars and out on the street.

Goals:
-songs the audience has heard before.. My music takes up all the obscurity I can afford.
-even better, songs the audience can sing or dance to
-songs that go across age groups
-songs that can sound decent with the bare essentials. Guitar, drums, bass, vocals.

Suggestions?

How about some Nick Cave or Leonard Cohen?

Radiohead.

pearl jam yellow ledbetter if you want faster state of love and trust. maybe even tracy chapman fast car

Here comes the sun is always good.

Have You Forgotten by Red House Painters for slow, sad.

I like to hear "chill" music, for lack of a better term... something you would hear in a coffeehouse.

I like countrymusic at guitars.

How about some Michael Hedges styled finger-picking/Slapping covers...that should set the crowd on fire :D. I wouldn't be bothered on what you cover as it's bound to be interesting.
