Dance song playlists

What do you count as headbanger songs? Just some examples would be cool

[Kynaeus]

I've got my whole long list of dance music and then my entire library, but I have a feeling someone would not be very happy if I just pasted all the tracks in Where can I upload the files for you guys to view?

Originally posted by Callum: Wow... these songs all add up. I got 6 hours of music already. Now I need some head bangers, and a couple of slow songs. And some rave/techno stuff, I suppose... it seems to be popular right now (bleh!).

Headbangers-

I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly.

But maybe:
Starlight- Superman Lovers
Romeo - Basement Jaxx
Who's That Girl - Eve/Gwen Stefani
Holla Back Girl -Gwen Stefani
19-2000 (Soulchild Remix) - Gorillaz
This Love - Maroon 5
Roses- Outkast
Locked Up - Akon
Where's Your head at- Basement Jaxx
Outta Control - 50 Cent

Slow Songs [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] :

Rendezvous - Craig David
Lovers and Friends -Lil John/Usher/Ludacris
Something About Us (Love Theme from Interstella 5555) - Daft Punk
Wanna Get To Know You - G Unit
Don't Gotta Go Home - DMX/Monica
Just a lil' bit - 50 Cent
You Should Let Me Love You- Mario Winnas
Burn- Usher
Confessions Pt 2 - Usher
Dilemma - Nelly/Kelly Rowland (told you about this one already, but it's the king of slow songs around these parts )
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
Girls,Girls,Girls- Jay-Z
Lonely - Akon

As for techno, I've got loads of good stuff. But I don't know what any of the songs are called!

Mm... This sounds strange, but don't knock it... Don't be afraid to mix things up. I was recently at a masquerade ball (seriously) and while people were more or less dancing the entire time, the floor was only packed when they did songs like the Time Warp or Paradise by the Dashboard Light or even a swing song or two... Keep that sort of thing in mind. People seem to have the most fun dancing to songs like that.

Just a few suggestions to balance out the ridiculous amount of hiphop so far... I know some youngsters are perfectly fine with such a one-sided musical input during their graduation dinner, but you should try to cater to other people's needs as well, no? Else you'll get some seriously alienated and out-of-place kids there. Also, skip 90% of all the lyric heavy gangster rap songs with gritty beats and simply focus on the cleaner party anthems with mainstream appeal (Black Eyed Peas, Usher, etc); you don't need a dozen Snoop Dogg or 50 cent songs in 3 hours time, or that many hiphop songs for that matter. That would please maybe 3 people and seriously piss off the rest.

Note that I have to add the disclaimer that I have no idea what kids in Malaysia really like, though. This also isn't really a list of what I personally like best (though it would be the greatest high school party I never had ), but I'll try to approach the issue from a 17-year-old's perspective.

some songs that will cater to a wider audience:
Alcazar - Crying at the Discotheque
The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket
Junior Senior - Move your Feet
Save Ferris - Come on Eileen (or the original by Dexy's Midnight Runners)
Pizzicato Five - Twiggy Twiggy/Twiggy vs James Bond (or just "twiggy", but make sure you get a 4-minute-ish version)
Pierre Henry - Psyche Rock (also theme from Futurama, btw, so this will mostly work if it is shown over there)
Suba - Samba do Gringo Paulista
Suba - Samba do Gringo Paulista (zero db reconstruction)
De-Phazz - Jeunesse Doree
Koop - Summer Sun
Marco Valle - Batacuda Sergiu
Moloko - Sing it Back (Boris Dlugosch Radio Mix)
Madness - Embarrassment
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell
Brian Setzer Orchestra - Jump Jive & Wail
Jive Bunny & The Mastermixer - Swing the Mood
Bran Van 3000 - Astounded
Planet Funk - Chase the Sun
Love Connection - The Bomb
Franz Ferdinand - Take me out
Kaiser Chiefs - I predict a Riot
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Blur - Song 2 (this one might not fit the mood, though)
Faithless - Insomnia


And some bonus electroclash songs, that will cater to both dancers and headbangers alike (though perhaps not really fit for such an occasion):
Vitalic - My Friend Dario
Felix da Housecat - Watching Cars Go By
Felix da Housecat - Silver Screen (Shower Scene)
Vive la Fete - Noir Desir
Soulwax - NY Excuse

Hey, I was just suggesting the stuff my friends and myself enjoy listening to, I wasn't expecting him to use EVERY song.

I did say my dance/party collection was hip-hop orientated.

That's why I addressed it to him, not you.
