I've been wondering for a while now, what would be the better song to play at my school's "Lollapalooza" (a talent show where everyone wins...a good pat on the back). I feel like a little kid, all giddy for the future, what'll happen.

Anyway, just a poll. Fill it out, leave comments? :roll:

I went with Flyleaf, but only if you can find a girl who can pull off that primal scream/singing.

None of the songs are really "impressive," but I think of the choices, the flyleaf song has the most musicianship shown.

They really aren't meant to be impressive...I haven't been playing for too terribly long (though I'll of been playing for a year and a half at the time Lollapalooza rolls around). Things may change, but you never know...just something to sound a bit different than Bulls On Parade like the last talent show contestants did.

Unless your school is a post graduate type and your 40 plus in age I would definitely exclude "Breaking the law". It can't possibly sound good to most younger students. I voted for Black Sunshine even though it is an old song (released more than a decade ago).

The only "new" type of music people at my school (which its a senior high), they usually listen to [in metal]: Disturbed, Slipknot, etc. [In Other]: Miley Cyrus, etc.

Otherwise they all practically thrive off of older music, like AC/DC, The Beatles, etc. Really, as long as its rock, a bit pumped up, and not by Imogen Heap, they probably wouldn't care.

Some recommendations I would make: Try something like muse, their songs are usually pretty simple, but full of energy. The White Stripes have plenty of stuff the crowd should recognize. Anything off Guitar Hero is probably a safe bet too considering most people have played that at least once. Rage Against the Machine is always good too if you can get someone that's willing to rap like De La Rocha.
