This is going to sound very weird.. but:
My band have been asked to play a gig at an underground festival.. basically, the set is to consist of 3 hours of songs that will (quote) 'make people cry, in an uplifting way. Songs that will get you in the gut (any genre)'
NOW - the examples they gave were things like
Bon Jovi - ill be there for you
Rod Stewart - Handbags and Gladrags
Oasis - Little by little
Robbie - Come Undone
My Chemical Romance - Black parade
There were more.. I cant remember now!
Anyway - I rand the lads and we're all quite up for it as its not really the sort of thing we do. We have 4 months to practise, and learn all the new songs.
SO - our 'homework' is to each come up with 30 suggestions, and then we'll choose 30 songs out of the 150 to do.
So - any help with my list would be HUGELY appreciated!
