Band Playlist Help

Hello everyone, I need some help in compiling a play list for the band for the day of the wedding. They'll play between 70 and 80 songs and I need some suggestions/opinions on music that anyone would like to hear as a guest. I have bride brain and can't seem to think of that many songs right now. Can be slow songs, dinner music, dance or anything else.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Re: Band Playlist Help

The band should have a list of songs they know that they can provide you. From there, you can pick your favorites or 'do not play' songs.

Songs that I find always go over well (not neccesarily my favorites...

Walking on Sunshine
Respect (or any Aretha songs)
Late In The Evening
Love Shack
Brickhouse
anything by Earth Wind & Fire
Lady Marmalade
Jackson 5 stuff
Signed Sealed Delivered
I Feel Good (James Brown)
motown stuff...

Hope this helps
