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...

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.
