Description
The Kinks had a lot of hits. So did Joe Jackson. the Steve Miller Band and Electric Light Orchestra. All are more deserving of a tribute than most tributes out there. I play keyboards. But, could play easier bass parts, if needed. So many Kinks hits (some were covered by Van Halen, Pretenders, Elvis Costello, The Jam, etc.): You Really Got Me, Lola, Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset, All Day And All Of The Night, Tired Of Waiting For You, Where Have All The Good Times Gone?, Come Dancing, Low Budget, Destroyer, Do It Again, Living On A Thin Line, David Watts, Apeman, Stop Your Sobbing, Victoria, Don't Forget To Dance, Heart Of Gold, Skin And Bone, King Kong, I Need You, Come On Now, Who'll Be The Next In Line?, Till The End Of The Day, A Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy, Sittin' On My Sofa, (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman, Set Me Free, Father Christmas, not to forget those that are supposedly very popular on Spotify: Supersonic Rocket Ship, This Time Tomorrow and Strangers. Joe Jackson hits are stylistically all over the place but still instantly recognizable: Look Sharp!, Is She Really Going Out With Him?, Steppin' Out, Breaking Us in Two, You Can't Get What You Want..., Sunday Papers, Right And Wrong, Beat Crazy, Got The Time, Fool, Soul Kiss, One To One, Dave and some great ballads like A Slow Song and We Can't Live Together. Steve Miller Band has enough hits to justify a tribute: Space Cowboy, Living In The USA, The Joker, Fly Like An Eagle, Wild Mountain Honey, Serenade, Rock'n Me, Take The Money And Run, Jet Airliner, Winter Time, Swingtown, True Fine Love, Jungle Love, The Stake, Abracabadra, Nobody But You Baby, I Want To Make The World Turn Around, etc. Why isn't there one? Let's do it! Electric Light Orchestra would be the most difficult to pull off due to the number of people needed. But, who can forget hits like the entire Eldorado, Face The Music, A New World Record, Out Of The Blue, and Zoom albums; Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, Roll Over Betthoven, Showdown, Don't Bring Me Down, Hold On Tight, Confusion, Four Little Diamonds, Calling America, When I Was A Boy, etc. Not to mention Jeff Lynne (co)written songs like Xanadu (Olivia Newton-John), You Got It (Roy Orbison), Not Alone Anymore (Traveling Wilburys), I Won't Back Down, Free Fallin', Runnin' Down a Dream, A Face in the Crowd, Learning to Fly, Into the Great Wide Open (all with Tom Petty), Slipping Away (Dave Edmunds), This Is Love (George Harrison), Blue Beyond The Grey (Jimmy Nail), etc? If you sing, play guitar, bass, violin, cello, drums, keys and are interested, let me know. guitarist bassist drummer singer vocalist 1960's british invasion the beatles
