I have an audition and need to prepare a POP/ROCK song, and I'm looking for something in the Bass/Baritone Range. ANY ideas would be helpful!

Thank you!

I also am a bass-baritone.
There are VERY few pop/rock songs written for our type.
However, most female songs are in alto/mezzo keys, so I usually find a female song and change a few words.

I honestly don't know of any. If I think of one, I'll bump this thread!!!

If you want to go the "female" route, many of Celine Dion's songs work really well. Madonna and Britney Spears also have some pretty good and surprisingly gender-neutral songs.
