Need some song suggestions for a set list

My band's got a gig the 11th of August, and we're been hired to plain mainstream rock.

The only problem is, I don't listen to anything mainstream, I listen mostly to French music.

Please help me. :(

SOAD would be cool if we didn't have to downtune our guitars so much. Dropped-D is okay, but down a step along with that? Our second guitarist uses an RG with a Floyd Rose, he can't downtune that thing at all within a half hour.

Thanks for the chart Vinny, I didn't even think of checking that out. :p

Foo Fighters, the punters will lap it up if you play Learn To Fly and Times Like These.
Rock is dead - but I believe in necrophilia.

Ya know, play some Nickelback. Or Creed. They're both pretty good bands...:rolleyes:
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are one of the hundreds of parachuting enthusiasts who bought our "Easy Sky Diving" book, please make the following correction: on page 8, line 7, the words "state zip code" should have read "pull rip cord."

Mainstream's easy - just look at charts.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Audioslave, Velvet Revolver
Pissed Off?

Intwine - Cruel Man should make a decent opener.

(In case you've never heard of it, drop me a PM.)
