Members I stink at bass Posted September 25, 2012 Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 I play in an 80's band, so there are a lot of songs that I have fun with. However, my new favorite is "No Reply At All" by Genesis. Took me a while to get it, but it's now my new favorite song to play "live". What is yours?

Members Johnny Crab Posted October 3, 2012 Members Share Posted October 3, 2012 All of them that get women on the dance floor.Last night?We had a walk-on female vocalist for our 1st song. We did "Don't Stop Believing", which we had never done as a band, and EVERYONE in the packed club was standing up, cheering, singing, dancing, having a blast.So yeah, that song for now.....

Seriously. Did all the Wishbone Ash(remember FUBB?), Camel, Thin Liz in earlier bands with my brother when it was being originally released decades ago. Agree 100% on the note-for-note harmonies.

I'm enjoying the fact that several are yukking up on the Freebird/Mustang Sally/Brown Eyed Girl triad, while missing the irony of a bassist enjoying Doves, and pretty much any performer playing 4:33.
