Party Music Suggestions

Ok, so i'm having a house party on saturday, and I need some suggestions for music. I need stuff that people can dance/sing to. Any era is good, 70s/80s/90s/recent. You have 48 hours Mr Bond....oh...no...wait a sec....

I would personally go for a bit of hot chip and maybe some guillemots! And I have been known to "sing" along, word for word, with kanye west. I ain't sayin she's a gold digger...

Good luck

Cheers, I was contemplating gold digger, so i will stick it on my playlist.

Here ya go.

So fun.

Well, Garve always said the ultimate party record would be "Wildest Louis Prima"...

More excellent party music.

mmmm.. Russ Abbott, Jive Bunny and Abba for good measure
(only joking Dabs !)

What type of person / age group are you expecting ?
wouldn't want to damage your street cred with any duff suggestions !

Omg, cheers guys. Lots of good (and not so good) suggestions.

A wide range, no kids, mostly 20-50, so suggest anything you want.

Kudos to Guy for mentioning Lui Prima. The Wildest is indeed one of the most exciting albums ever made and Prima is the true king of the swingers.

Evetrybody now "IIIIIIIIIII, ain't got nobody!"

As for party tunes, here's some of what I'd pick:

Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Abba - virtually anything
Earth Wind And Fire - see above
Stealers Wheel - Stuck In The Middle With You
Steve Harley - Come Up And See Me
Kool And The Gang - Jungle Boogie
Ian Dury And The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Jackson Five - Can You Feel It
Blondie - Hangin' On The Telephone
The Jam - Town Called Malice
The Beatles - Saw Her Standing There
The Rolling Stones - Miss You

Yep, I agree with all KingSwinger's suggestions.
You may think some of them are a little naff, but hey, it's a party and I bet EVERYBODY will love that stuff.
Personally, the one song that always gets me dancing is What You Need by INXS.
So stick that on your list as well.

Also, I don't see my invite anywhere???

For no particular reasons...........
Sister Sledge - We are Family
Brand New Heavies - Back to Love
Jamiroqui - almost anything they do thats funky
Clash - Rock the Casbah
Bowie - Rebel Rebel / Jean Jeanie ?
Duran Duran - Rio
George Michael - Too Funky
Human League - Love Action / Dont you Want me
KAiser Chiefs - Ruby
SClub 7 - Don't Stop Movin
Sugababes - Red Dress
Grease Megamix

Erm...........You were automatically invited when I said I was having a party. Yep, thats it.

I have to agree with hotchip, i would add, ealry kings of leon, a sprinkle of early greeday, a touch of weezer and some foos!

Sounds like a recipe for a good party...

you cant beat a mixture of pendulum and the jam for parties

Hope you're having a good party Dabs!
and remember: no posting when hungover!!!

Party's over. Went quite well in my opinion, cheers for the suggestions people. I'm going to lock the thread now, since there is no point in it being open anymore.
