All – thankyou so much for your patience.
As you know, the song choices are a key part to getting the Jam days to work. You will also probably figure that getting a consensus on 20 songs is pretty damn hard! So I’ve been trying to work out the fairest way of doing it and making sure we try to please the largest number of people possible.
Much as I don’t like being Benevolent Dictator, I think for the final list, I need to at least be arbitrator or referee.
So – here’s the plan.
I’d like everyone to re-post their suggestions in the following format:
Paid/Not Paid (delete as appropriate)
Experience level (Pro, Regular Gigger, Occasional Live Player, etc..)
3 song choices and for each one:
Song title, version you want (artist etc), your preferred instrument (lead, rhythm, bass, drums, vox etc)
Comments can of course continue – I don’t want to kill the enthusiasm! But you are limited to 3 choices to think hard and choose wisely!
Once we have 3 choices from each jammer, we will corellate a shortlist. This will be based on the following:
1. If you have paid up, you get priority (encouragement to pay and less likely to have your song picked then pull out or not turn up)
2. We will reserve 5 songs for Jam Virgins so they can have a go at something that’s their choice
3. We will then choose 5 Easy, 5 Medium and 5 Hard songs to try to cater for as wide a range of Jammers as possible
This list will then be published and we will open it up to slots being filled – if one is really popular we will run it twice and potentially drop an unpopular one.
Timescales:
Initial song suggestions will stay open for 1 week – if you haven’t inputted by then, then tough
We will turn round the short list as soon as we can.
We will then publish it and leave it open for a week for minor changes and comments from you all etc. but my decision will be final.
Songlist will then be static and slots opened
It will only change IF one song is unpopular/another popular
Any questions, let me know!

Comments
Regular Forum Jammer (but no other public playing)
Quo - Railroad - Guitar (Rhythm) & Vox
Eric Clapton (JJ Cale) - Somebody's Knocking - Guitar (Rhythm) & Vox
Dave Edmunds - I knew the bride - Guitar (Rhythm) & Vox
I'll stand ready to jump in on rhythm or bass on other songs as needed.
Paid
Regular live player, but "church stuff" not "rock stuff" so contextually very different
Hoping to be a regular jammer
I Hate My Life - Theory of a Deadman (Rhythm/Vox/lead such as it is would be nice) - album version/YT official video
Won't back down - Tom Petty (Rhythm/Vox) - album version (Full Moon Fever)/YT official video
Kings of Speed - Hawkind (Rhythm, maybe some widdle) - no idea what version! Album for ease, I guess
That last is mainly for a hoot with @fandango
Professional bass player/producer/idiot
Motörhead - Ace of Spades - Bass
ZZ Top - Just Got Paid - Guitar (never played guitar in public before despite being a gigging bass player for over 30 years)
AC/DC - Live Wire - Guitar and Vox
Plus happy to fill in other bass slots if needed.
Although, considering I'm supposed to be working rather than attending as a fully fledged jammer, I understand my choices take low priority.
Low garage-band standard (18 months). Enjoy playing live, show-off.
1. Beastie Boys Fight For Your Right to Party. as per the studio record (Licence to Ill). Guitar.
2. Motörhead Ace of Spades, as per the record. Guitar, willing to attempt solo (might need back up!).
3. Scorpions Coast to Coast. as per the studio record (Lovedrive). Instrumental, no singer needed! Rhythm guitar and share lead lines I hope. I don't really have a feel for how hard this is, may be too hard for me.
Edit: I borrowed the umlauted ö from Bob.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youParadise City, rhythm, GNR album version (hopefully with @thomasross20 and @LuttiS
Wont back down, lead slide, Tom Petty album version
Crossroads, lead/rhythm & vox, jam version!
Home player, OK-ish, plus a couple of Jams
I'm going to start with the same as Quad, but this one is quite a long way off and I feel like I might want to do something different by the time this comes around?
Wanted Dead or alive - Bon Jovi - Rhythm, but will have a go at the intro.
Good Riddance - Green Day - Rhythm
Hey Joe - Jimi H - Rhythm, but would try a lead solo of some kind
also would like to play additional rhythm on some of the other suggestions.
I’m setting myself a challenge - I want to do this Jam completely on fretless........
Not Paid
Played for 46 years but not played live since 1995!
Somebody’s Knocking, JJ Cale (Eric Clapton version) - lead
I'll get two other suggestions down later on..
PAID, occasional live player (haven't gigged for ~2 years).
Paradise City, lead, GNR album version (quite a few folk have noted interest in this!! @darthed1981 says he could sing?)
The Chain, acoustic rhythm (maybe vox but will see...) with @Alnico and @Bridgehouse I think?
Holiday Road, rhythm/lead + backing vox, album version (Lindsay Buckingham)

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youSummer breeze - seals and crofts (1 of the vox and lead guitar / poss ac guit)
i'm thinking S&C's structure but then tab the ernie isley solo on the end, if that dont work out just keep it as the original.
Any colour you like - pink floyd - (lead guitar) we will also need an organ for this, and rather than the original, this nice live version for a change, as no synth solo:
My sharona - the Knack - (vox n rhythm guitar, Doug Fieger) ballsy riffage! lead and bass (and poss drums) need to sing BV my sharona!
Needs a good tight rhythm section and it's one of those "harder than it sounds" songs. But love it @CustomPedalBoards !
