I just made a list of songs for my beginning drum students (mostly kids but also some teens and adults) to listen to and play along with. Here's what I put on the list:
Eminence Front -- The Who
Procol Harum -- Whiter Shade of Pale
... and the Cradle Will Rock -- Van Halen
Comfortably Numb -- Pink Floyd
Free Falling -- Tom Petty
Back in Black -- AC/DC
Creep -- Radiohead
For Whom the Bell Tolls -- Metallica
Enter Sandman -- Metallica
Helpless -- Neil Young
Heart of Gold -- Neil Young
Walk This Way -- Aerosmith (Every drummer's gotta learn the intro to this one!)
Rock This Town -- Stray Cats
Green Onions -- Booker T. and the MGs
We Will Rock You -- Queen (this actually has no drums in it, believe it or not, but it's still a great play-along song for beginners)
Brain Stew -- Green Day
Gimme All Your Lovin' -- ZZ Top
Oasis -- Live Forever
Alice in Chain -- Man in the Box
Blitzkrieg Bop -- The Ramones (when they're ready to play fast)
What would you add to the list?
Thanks,
Dave Moadel

| Two easy songs that come to my mind are Cumbersome by Seven Mary Three and Shooting Star by Bad Company. |
SAVE a Drum BANG a Drummer. |

| How about some of the music from the 50's and 60's? Like "louie, Louie", Shout, etc, etc. Maybe even some of the do wop songs. They worked for me. |
All politians are liars and thieves!!! So much for the "stimulus bill"!!! |
