And finally, some good old-fashioned rock n' roll - with slow stuff mixed in.

http://www.freewebs.com/gambihulen/rock.html

Figured 800 tracks would be pushing it for cut n' paste.

[Callum]

Well... Sigmar's music took me up to 4 hours... so I'll be cutting out at least half.

I'm thinking about a ratio of 2 hip hop to 1 techno to 1 headbanging... Which means about 20 - 25 hip hop songs, and 10 - 15 of each of the others.

And upon thinking about it... I really only need a couple of slow songs all evening. This function is notorious for people not dancing, so a slow song will just push people further away from the floor, if they aren't already dancing.

And by headbanging... I mean stuff like Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit, SoaD - Toxicity, Chop Suey, Puddle of Mudd - She Hates Me. But I can probably cover those ones myself.

Mixing up all kinds of other stuff won't really work. If it was for my and my friends, I would do it... But the year above us (who are the one's graduating... so its their party really) seem to have the worst collective taste of any year in the school. They only like the same stuff that's always playing on the radio. I'll get yelled at if I put in anything too different or "fun". [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dude, those people suck. And for someone who prides himself for having a great Internet connection, you could still download some of our suggestions, no? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Also, mixing Puddle of Mudd with 50 cents all within 3 hours time is an aural disaster which will still piss people off. I know you can't please everyone, but the least you could do is try to find something universal that no one actually detests. What's so wrong about 'fun' music to dance to? Now you're still putting people in different camps rather than trying to unite them... Unless you're really afraid those 50 cent types will beat you up if you play ska or swing music.

And Froberg, nice list! Contains some stuff I really need to check out, especially the electronics list. [img]smile.gif[/img] Though I fear it's not really the kind of music fit for the average 17/18-year-old.

[Sigmar]

Lord, fantastic list matey! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

A better selection to dance to than mine overall, no doubt (considering the fact that I've danced to each of those some time or another in clubx here in Gib).

As for Headbanger suggestions Callum (a few of my friends like "music with rocks in it" too so I usually have to incoporate a great deal of rock into the playlist too ) :

Undercover - Pete Yorn (a bit tame, but to ease people into the rock I think it works well).

Maroon 5's mainstream appeal can't be emmphasised enough- "This love" and "She will be love" are great.

Rock Star - Smash Mouth (Feel good, dancing rock, canny get better than this )

How You Remind Me- Nicklback

Burning Down The House- Tom Jones & The Cardigans (Cheesy, but it's universally loved )

Mama told me not to come - Tom Jones & Stereophonics (less of a sure hit than Burning down the house)

Feeling This - Blink 182

Wonderwall (slow rock song) - Oasis (one of the favourites, 50 drunk men and women singing the chorus in unison, it doesn't get much better than this )

Bodyrock - Moby

Take Me To The Clouds Above - [someone] VS U2 remix

Laura - Scissor Sisters

Teenage Dirtbag - Wheetus

[NOT ROCK, but two fun song to throw in regardless ] Bootylicious - Destiny's Child [and] No Doubt - Hey Baby

Bohemian Like You- The Dandy Warhols

Again, I hope that helped. The rock can't be too heavy, as it has the same effect as getting really slow rap songs, with boring monotonous beats, etc it'll put a lot of people off. Try and go for a mainstream balance...and at the end of the day...just get anything with a nice lil' backbeat to it!

Apparently the definition of headbanging over here is very different from else where

How on earth do you head bang to Wonderwall or How you Remind Me? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway... I just had to walk all the way home from a Japanese lesson, so I spent the time doing mental math. ('Cos I'm just that cool)

So, my estimates seem to keep coming down for the number of songs needed.

What I really need now is a top twenty hip hop songs list, and a top ten electronica list. Headbanging I'll do myself. Slow songs are already covered.

Realistically, you're not going to put heavy rock music like, oh I dunno..."Cowboys From Hell" - Pantera 'cos like "heavy" rap music it'll appeal to a very small niche of your audience

That's as heavy as mainstream rock gets, you want people to get funky and dance. Not start a mosh pit

[Lord]

thanks Sigmar.

Also add:

Diamonds are Forever by Kanye West (this beat will get people moving)
Whats My Age Again by Blink-182 (i don't think i've ever heard this in a club before, so i'm not sure if it would work out)
let's get it started by black eyed peas
Git Up by D-12 featuring Eminem
Headsprung by LL Cool J

I'm trying to think of 1 more slow song to dance to, although I can't get 1 to pop in my head atm.

[Sigmar]

[Switch - Will Smith] has also been a big hit lately.

Slow song Lord? How about [Only You-Ashanti]?

That one seems very popular too.
