Question for Classic Rock listeners..

FH and I love classic rock as well as any other type of music. However, we want only music you can dance to at our wedding. What are some good classic rock songs that you can dance to?
Why is trying to think for yourself so hard sometimes?

Thanks

Yes I Love that song!
ETA: I may have a stronger opinion b/c I'm a 'brown eyed girl'

Re: Question for Classic Rock listeners..

When I think of classic rock dance songs, I always think of the Boardy Barn (even though I've only been there twice). Here are some ideas that may spark other ideas...

Sweet Home Alabama
The Joker
Sweet Caroline
Bye Bye Miss American Pie
Only the Good Die Young
Me and Julio
Cocaine
Magic Carpet Ride
American Woman
The Piano Man
Foxy Lady
Hotel California
Break on Through
Kung Foo Fighting
Call Me Al
etc.

Re: Question for Classic Rock listeners..

As I mentioned before, I attended a wedding this past weekend, and they played a lot of rock. Surprisingly, everyone was up and dancing. The songs I can remember....

I want to Rock and Roll......Kiss
Shook me all night long....ACDC
Thank you (??????) Led Zepplin

Re: Question for Classic Rock listeners..

hey, we have the same exact problem. In fact, we picked a DJ specifically because he promised he could play danceable songs that we would like.

try: Shout (you know you make me wanna..)
10,00 maniacs (do they count as CR already?)
Janis Joplin, esp. Bobby McGee
Rolling stones, esp. satisfaction
Hooked on a feeling
Another Van Morrison - Monndance (a little slwer though)
If you like that sort of thing there is always Paradise by the Dashboard Light

trying to think...
