Music Poll

YHFoxtrot

Ok so FI and I are huge music people. We have put a lot of effort into thinking about songs to play at the reception. That said, we don't really listen to the radio at all and therefore are clueless when it comes to top 40 stuff... I have a lot of music already planned for my reception but I want to have a few more contemporary top 40 type songs for the guests... The other day, our friends told us we need to play the black eyed peas "boom  pow" or somethin like that... not sure I like that song but I do know and like that one  "tonights gonna be a good night" (I sound like such a tool right now) but anyway...I thought a fun poll would be for you guys to List out 5-10 dance songs you want played at your wedding so I can check them out for myself and get some ideas. AND GO!

I prob cant help bc im a total dork and will most likely use old school dance stuff and tons of 80's! At the time of my wedding, ill prob add in llike 10 or so new popular songs. Like that black eyed peas song, will give you a headache in January bc its being so over played right now! Know what I mean?!

Radio dance songs?  Kid Cudi "Day N Night" (although I enjoy that off-the radio as well)Old radio dance artists:Daft PunkModjo (Lady Hear Me Tonight)StarDust (Music Sounds Better With You)Off-radio dance artists:Cut CopyLCD SoundsystemJusticeI can't think of other genres right now, besides Spanish language music.  I've got french-house stuck in my head.  I will help again later.

You guys are too funny! I begrudgingly listen to the radio at work all day bc silence is much worse. Some suggestions:Lady Gaga - Just Dance (her other songs a bit more vulgar but they're all good for dancing) I agree with Black Eyed Peas, everyone loves them. Cant go wrong with Madonna cira 1990's Anything 80's and definitley some oldies for the older crowd Beyonce - Crazy in Love MJ! I remember Vicki posting her playlist and it had some pretty good tunes. I'll think of more, I'm having a blank moment here. Check out billboard top 100 too!

i'm no help. I'm a loser. If it's 80's or disco, I'll shake my groove thang lol

bellababy31

I'm also an 80's fan for dance music! "Pour some sugar on me", "Don't stop believin"...etc....Those are awesome songs to play and everyone sings along

YHFoxtrot

thanks guys... I do have 80's and old school covered... (Music playlist in my bio) but I just was curious about the new stuff. I hate that Lady Gaga song but maybe for the guests I will play it. I'm also anti Kanye BUT... I have American Boy on thereAlso agree with Amy that the Black eyed peas song will be so played out come January but I will prob still play it.My playlist also includes stuff that the guitarists will play during cocktail hour and songs during dinner so don't think I'm THAT lame to think that people will want to dance to some of that stuff... BUT... I def want to have some contemporary stuff outside of the old schol.

Since we are a bit older (33 - hello!) we did alot of 90s and 80s top 40 mixed with some more current stuff.  Lets see, the night was kicked off with Brickhouse and other 70s and that worked like a charm.  We had some ABC and a few other michael jackson/jackson 5 earlier dance songs, blister in the sun, Groove is in the Heart by Deelite, AC/DC Shook me all night long, Just Dance by Lady Gaga, a few new Britney Songs, Crazy in Love by Beyonce.  We ended with Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton and then straight into Don't Stop Believing.We are huge music people too, but kept it to top 40's throughout the years so everyone would dance.   We kept the more obscure artists/songs for the cocktail hour/dinnertime... like my mom knows who Frou Frou is.

citytoshore09

YGM - I sent you my ridiculously weird playlist. There's a bunch of hip-hop because my daddy loves it... haha. It was awesome, everyone danced all night long.

Anagloria83

We're in the same boat!  Gheorghe isn't that into it either.  I love how long it friggin' is.  LOLBut wouldn't that be cool though, huh?

tylerandrem

So as inappropriate as it is we are playing superman by solja boy... i don't think I can even spell it right!!!  But we are huge UM fans and my dad wants to do that part where we sing "Its all about the U!" Kinda Dorky... but if it gets my dad on the dance floor, so be it! Tyler

YHFoxtrot

Ana, just went through your list... some great suggestions there... I added the that "turn me on" song by Kevin Lyttle or whatever. I like that one!

YHFoxtrot

-if you like daft punk, you may like Kayne West's "Stonger". -i'm not sure if this is top 40 but it is recent and gets good radio play, Madcon's "Beggin", which is more like rock/hiphop but extremely danceable  -i love beyonce so, "Get me bodied" is a good one. she has a bunch of good dance songs like "crazy in love" or "de ja vu".-i'll second John Legend's "Green Light"-Mary J Blige "Fine", not new but good for dancing.-Usher "Caught Up", also not new but good for dancingthat's all i got.

millenia98

HELL YES, EAGLES FAN!!I hugely second the "Beggin'" song - as I show above :)Huge second on the Usher "Caught up""Green Light" John Legend"Get em high" Kanye West. Huge hit/dance song"Check on it" Beyonce

YHFoxtrot

Thank you all for those suggestions. I love that song Beggin. Never heard it before but now I am loving it!I am planning to play the Original Daft Punk version of Stronger... (Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger) Green Light is another good one I added to the list.These suggestions are great. My playlist is being updated as we speak!Keep em' coming girls!

eagles.fan1234

jaime- i thought you would like Beggin'.    Also, you might like "universal mind control" by Common, it kind of a cross of hip/hop and electronic music and it's danceable.millenia - it is my favorite song of the moment with a close second being "make her say"  by Kid Cudi feat. Common (though this one is slightly  inappropriate for a wedding).

Madcon's "Begging" is an awesome cover of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons' "Begging'"(big Four Seasons fan here!)

The Sounds "Dance With Me"
