Sultans of swing, layla, you get the picture.

I used to play keyboards/guitar/vocals in a band in the late 80's that was aimed at all this type of music and some of our setlist was -

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
Blinded By The Light - Manfred Mann
Foreigner - Cold As Ice
Foreigner - I've Been Waiting For A Girl Like You
Foreginer - Hot Blooded
Derek & The Dominoes - Layla (+coda)
Eric Clapton - Cocaine
Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (this lasted about 15 minutes)
Eagles - Lyin Eyes
Eagles - Desperado
Eagles - Take It Easy
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
Kansas - Dust In The Wind
I was also made to play the dreadful Walk Of Life which I hated with a passion.

I suppose the music is what you call American AOR or Dad Rock.
