What metals can you acid copper plate?

Been confused about the variety of advice I've seen when it comes to plating onto common metals. Nickel turns out fine, but it seems you can't just plate zinc, aluminum, steel, iron, stainless steel, or even brass without a bunch of prepatory steps/strike layers that require their own chemistry.

Are there any common metals that you can just stick into a copper sulfate bath and electroform effectively with copper, other than nickel and copper?
