Me and my band will be performing in a punk cover concert split over three days. We will be doing a set of 35 to 40 cover songs. I've already selected around 35 songs. My main selection criteria were lasting influence and popularity of the bands and songs and I also included some of my personal favorites. I've tried to cover most of the important bands from the start of punk to present day. I've excluded both proto and post punk. Here are the songs I've selected:
01 - Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones
02 - Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols
03 - Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys
04 - London Calling - The Clash
05 - Straight Edge - Minor Threat
06 - Johnny Hit and Run Pauline - X
07 - Ever Fallen in Love - The Buzzcocks
08 - Sonic Reducer - Dead Boys
09 - Rise Above - Black Flag
10 - Last Caress - The Misfits
11 - Oh Bondage Up Yours - X-Ray Spex
12 - Pay To Cum - Bad Brains
13 - Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers
14 - Knowledge - Operation Ivy
15 - American Jesus - Bad Religion
16 - Punk Rock Girl - The Dead Milkmen
17 - Fat Lip - Sum 41
18 - Phantom of The Opera - Me First and The Gimme Gimmes
19 - Scotty Doesn't Know - Lustra
20 - I Fought The Law (Cover) - GreenDay
21 - Basket Case - GreenDay
22 - I Just Want Some Skank - Circle Jerks
23 - Punk Rock Love - Casualties
24 - All The Small Things - Blink 182
25 - New Rose - The Damned
26 - Ring of Fire (Cover) - Social Distortion
27 - Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
28 - 1985 - Bowling For Soup
29 - So What - Anti Nowhere League
30 - Something I Learned Today - Husker Du
31 - LinoLeum - NOFX
32 - Rancid - Ruby Soho
33 - Punk's Not Dead - The Exploited
What do you think of the selection? Have I managed to cover most of the important bands and songs? Or should I take out some of the songs? Please give me your recommendations. I need around 40 good songs and the criteria is influence and popularity. Please leave out post and proto punk.
