DJTREV 0 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 If Johnathan the DJ tutor can get away with playing the Nolans at a Christmas party full of squaddies then I suppose it must be OK!! I have just sat thro all that and there is only so much time that you can spend looking at his decks before you get bored.I dont think it exactly did him any favours.Poor sound from the camera and disjointed editing. I cant imagine how much he charged This is not a rehearsal This is it - grab it while you can. Link to post Share on other sites

Robster, I agree with you. Just went through the entire list and although there are some good ones, it certainly isn't a playlist. In the context of putting an album on at home to get your drunken friends up occasionaly on the carpet then individually they may have something but.... there's a real load of .... here.

Norfolk DJ 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 In 2008 the Daily telegraph "music experts" made a list of the top 50 tracks to get you on the dancefloor Click here The list has some weird choices to me! Hmm looks bit like half of the playlists that are sent to me. Good tunes but about 80% would clear the floor :funjokeandlaugh: I agree with all the ones you have ?????? bar the Nolans, some others thru my experience I wouldnt have near the list but hey ho. Just wondered whether you have tried this one very often. It's ranked 7 on my playlistings over the last 10 years Link to post Share on other sites

I know 'Top 100' always sounds better but the 60 has a specific purpose - so that we had 3 hours (or so) of timeless must have dance songs ... enough for one gig.

Dukesy 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sorry to be a pain, but can we possibly exchange the 'Agnes' listed track for something else, such as the dance version of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes 'Time of My Life', or dare I say Underworld's Born Slippy!? Also, out of all the Beatles tracks I've ever played or been asked for, the one that really seems to go down well is "I Saw Her Standing There". As there's already a 'Twist' track, is it worth keeping the current Beatles listed, or would you exchange it?! Appreciate there are lots of variables here, but floor reaction for me always seems much livelier with the Bee Gees track 'Staying Alive' than their 'Night Fever'. Anyone else experience this? And I know the Journey track is currently 'popular' (I like it too!), but compared to others that a 'DJ must have', I'd personally rate tracks from say Dire Straits, The Prodigy, Faithless or even good ole' Roy Orbison or Arrow! smile icon Just some suggestions!

Teez 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sweetie, Dukesy Thanks for the input. The entire list is based on people's opinions so yours count just as much. The list as you know is totally subjective with a bit of bias (as the one doing the typing) and also based on who shouts loudest and last. I agree with most of the removals you've mentioned. Interesting about Don't Stop Believing - Journey as it indeed isnt a great dance song but I suspect it is, and will remain, a bit like some of the other soft rock megahits one of those tracks that people go 'Oh great, I love this one' and then either do a bit of air guitar or just sway about a bit and mime the words while pulling Jack Black style faces to their friends! 67 Hits - Need to remove 7 more 500 Miles - Proclaimers Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot Billie Jean - Michael Jackson Blame it on the Boogie - Jacksons Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Kylie Minogue Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners Conga - Gloria Estefan (Sorry but I can't even type B….

Teez 0 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Thanks for the recent updates. Some of your track suggestions have been added, some had been added weeks ago then removed and others probably might stay off. The list doesn't take into account regional differences. Some of the latest suggestions are definitely dance tracks but an increasing number of groans can also be heard in the background when played at my venues (they would have made the list in the '70s/80s but I'm trying to stay off nostalgia). I played one or two of these recently and attracted quite a few complaints. They may work for some of you but songs like Silver Lining are off my list. I'm not expecting everyone to agree with this. I'm trying to evolve it so that the list is definitely dance and not limited to the over 40ies or under 20ies. Carry on adding more, but also make your suggestions as to which songs they should replace Here's the latest version... 500 Miles - Proclaimers Billie Jean - Michael Jackson Blame it on the Boogie - Jacksons Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Kylie Minogue Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners Dance The Night Away - The Mavericks Dancing Queen - Abba Do you Love me?

Some of your track suggestions have been added, some had been added weeks ago then removed and others probably might stay off. The list doesn't take into account regional differences. Looks like mine didn't make the cut then ... lol :) Some of the latest suggestions are definitely dance tracks but an increasing number of groans can also be heard in the background when played at my venues (they would have made the list in the '70s/80s but I'm trying to stay off nostalgia). I played one or two of these recently and attracted quite a few complaints. They may work for some of you but songs like Silver Lining are off my list. i take your point on Jeff Beck - Silver Lining ... if you are looking to avoid the groans then songs that have been played to death like 'Come on Eileen' for instance I'm not expecting everyone to agree with this. I'm trying to evolve it so that the list is definitely dance and not limited to the over 40ies or under 20ies. Carry on adding more, but also make your suggestions as to which songs they should replace Ill restake my claim lol and say that the ones below are cross generation S Club 7- Reach Amarillo - Tony Christie Hey Baby - Dj Otzi (or Bruce Chanel) Sandstrom - Darude Low - Flo Rida Surfin USA / I Get Around Beach Boys Do You love me - Contours Build me up Buttercup - Foundations I love Rock and Roll - joan Jett We Will Rock you - Queen Dizzy - Vic reeves and Wonderstuff Love Shack - B-52s Sex on fire - kings of leon Irish Rover - Pogues and the dubliners if you are looking for some to take out ... all based on what works for me of course 500 Miles - Proclaimers Billie Jean - Michael Jackson Blame it on the Boogie - Jacksons Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Kylie Minogue Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners Dance The Night Away - The Mavericks Dancing Queen - Abba Do you Love me?
