Even the non-adoring public wants to hear some of these!

Have we forgotten about just plain old "Rock and Roll" by a small British band called Led Zeppelin?

I also submit: "Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle" by Cake.

I Like to Rock - April Wine

A long time ago I was doing some business with Steve Segal - a really great guy IMO - who did a stint in the band himself. He told me a story about how he and the somewhat better-known Steve Seagal did a guitar deal that, through nobody's fault really, went a bit wrong.

It progressed to threats of violence (however comically they were actually intended.... Steve Segal isn't exactly a world-renowned martial artist, unlike his near-namesake) but all turned out ok in the end, and they became reasonably good friends after it all calmed down.......

Well, it was mentioned in post #3 of this thread where I state "In my current quiver that I have been playing (beyond the 3 above) are "Rock and Roll" by Zep, . . ." ;~))

OK, here is a spreadsheet I have started ;~)) If anybody has items that are not in the list, feel free to chime in and I will add to the list. I have a column (column E) that will tag it if it is "about Rock and Roll" or just a song that happens to have the words "rock" or "roll" in the title. I still have a lot of input for artist, writers, who covered, etc. but I will get that done! Thanks for all the inputs, currently at 125 songs ;~))

My bad! I searched the text in the page for the words "led zeppelin" and of course, no dice! I should've figured it was the most obvious song.

All good, spreadsheet should clear all of that up ;~)) Thanks for your contributions!

OK, I have compiled my "Rock And Roll" setlist, here it is (in alphabetical order but I will likely change the order for a variety of reasons):

Crocodile Rock	Elton John
For Those About To Rock	AC/DC
Golden Age Of Rock And Roll	Mott The Hoople
I'm Just A Singer In A Rock 'n Roll Band	The Moody Blues
It's Only Rock and Roll But I Like It	The Rolling Stones
It's Still Rock And Roll To Me	Billy Joel
Jailhouse Rock	Elvis Presley
Long Live Rock	The Who
Old Time Rock and Roll	Bob Seger
Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy	Bad Company
Rock and Roll	Led Zeppelin
Rock and Roll	The Velvet Underground
Rock And Roll All Nite	Kiss
Rock and Roll Band	Boston
Rock And Roll Fantasy	Bad Company
Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo	Rick Deringer
Rock And Roll Music	Chuck Berry
Rock Around The Clock	Bill Haley and The Comets
Rock Me Amadeus	Falco
Rock On	David Essex
Rockin' Down The Highway	The Doobie Brothers
Rockin' In The Free World	Neil Young
The Heart Of Rock And Roll	Huey Lewis
The House Is A Rockin'	SRV
We Will Rock You	Queen

25 songs so probably about 1.5 hours or so. I will add/remove some as time goes on I am sure, but for now, these are the ones I want to play and will start practicing this set later today. I am going to try and eventually do this set as a live stream ;~))

Reasons I am not playing some of the 110+ songs in the spreadsheet includes, but is not limited to:
- Lyrics don't really reflect "Rock and Roll" (aka "Like a Rock", "Rock Lobster", etc.)
- Too many chords or too complicated a chord structure (for my taste/ability/comfort level/commitment)
- I don't like the artist
- I don't like the song
- The artist already has another song in the list (only one per artist in this set list - sorry Queen, Mott the Hoople, AC/DC and others)

Thanks for all the help in finding the songs that have rock and/or roll in the title. The spreadsheet is viewable at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NSOMiLgyipoRGyJOzGj5Pad5-5ijxJOn20zdsVfENPY including the set list worksheet! If you have more, feel free to chime in and I will add them to list ;~))
