Re: I need to give my DJ a list of songs I DO want him to play

i have to say i was pretty big on the- can't touch this by mchammer, joy and pain, rob base, anything by ll cool j, anything by beyonce, anything by bruce springsteen, etc.

i just kept writing anything by .... instead of particular songs. he thought it was a good idea

Re: I need to give my DJ a list of songs I DO want him to play

Good post .. I'm struggling with 'MUST PLAY' songs also to give our DJ. FH and I have very specific taste, but we know we have to have a 'variety' of dance songs for the older crowd and to keep it balanced. But i don't want things played I hate hearing, either!

more suggestions everyone! So far, some of the ones posted are great, but there are a few I just cannot play and be happy about I.e., I really do not like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, even though I know its a crowd pleaser

I hear what you are saying about it being a crowd pleaser. Whenever I play it when I am DJing at Sutton Place NYC... it seems like the girls go nuts. Especially the bachelorette parties that I have there!

But of course, I don't care for the song much myself so I can definitely agree with people when they say they don't care for it.
