What rock songs should my band learn?

Question

Our style is progressive/classic rock...such as kansas, rush, deep purple, toto, supertramp, camel etc. We know songs like wayward son

Mention songs where all instruments have interesting and technical parts especially the bass :D but not songs which are too hard

Answer 1

Rush: YYZ (really bizarre time signatures make this hard), Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Anything from 2112



Kansas: The Wall, Power, Wheels, Wayward Son (which you already know).. really, anything off of Leftoverture



Deep Purple: Highway Star, Hush, Perfect Strangers, SMoke on the Water (a must)



Toto: Hold the Line (that's about it)



Also, songs by:

Asia

Yes

King Crimson

ELP



That should get you there.

Answer 5

try Dance of the Dead-Iron maiden it is a pretty good song but i dont think it is progressive/classic rock. but at least listen to it once!! good luck!!

Answer 6

AC/DC is good, but the solos are a bit fast, they mainly just use the basic chords. also Deep purple is a great one to do because everyone recognises Smoke On The Water. Then there is Cream's Sunsine of your Love, that is more intermediate. i dunno if thats helped but thats what my band plays sometimes.:P

i still haven't gotten it but that would be a cool one, i cant wait till i learn it.
