I guess I'll start it off if I want it to post!Sit Down

For our band, it's option 1, with a few covers thrown in. We'll do an original or two, but that repertoire is limited at this time.

I voted "something else".

In Feral the mucic isn't challenging to the listener, but it's fun and accessible. We do acoustic covers of some classic rock and some modern rock. Think "unplugged". What we are doing isn't honestly difficult, but we try to put an original twist on the songs that we pick. It's fun to play, but it isn't rocket science.

The Green Ridge Runners are an entirely different animal. Fifty percent of a typical show is covers and again, we put our spin on things. But what makes GRR "good", at least in my mind is how tight we are as a band and the quality of the originals. Paul and Mike in GRR are really good musicians and I'm proud of being a part of that.
