Songs that are in Drop D (That actually use it)

You know what I'm talking about. ie Bartender uses it, Crush does not.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for some good songs in Drop D? I just love the way it sounds.

Any artist, I don't care.

Crush uses it to an extent. It's harder to play Crush without it...

Don't Drink the Water is a good one too...umm, Running Away by Hoobastank is Drop D.

ok well you can play any song that's in D and use drop D tuning...

the chords are a little different but it works.

i disagree about crush not using it...the jam is weak without being in drop, IMO

Crush uses a open D in the ending that he does.. 0h2 2x44 xx24 is the part he uses it..
