Well that will only take 10 of us posting 1 of each category; I'll get the ball rolling;-

1) Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time- Paul McCartney

2) Grease Lightning - OST

3) (Depending upon what you mean exactly by Rock'n'Roll) either... Hound Dog by Elvis or Don't Stop Believing by Journey

4) Paolo Nutini - Pencil Full of Lead (fun to dance to!) or Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon (for sing-a-long ability!)

Hope this helps in some way shape or form! :D

[Princess Griff]

Ohhhh my go my go!!!!

1) Xmas = The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole
2) Cheese = Macarena!
3) Rock n Roll = I dont know what SCOM means, but something by Elvis 'Thats alrite mama', 'All shook up' or 'jailhouse rock'
4) Pop = Has to be something from the King or Queen of Pop; Michael Jackson or Madonna, but no idea what!!!

[Creature]

My turn now.

1) 10 Christmas Songs - Relient K - Sleigh Bells (Go for a different twist)
2) 10 Cheesy Songs - Whigfield - Saturday Night
3) 10 Rock n Roll (SCOM etc) - Boston - More Than A Feeling / Elvis - Houndog
4) 10 Pop tunes - Jacko - Billie Jean

[Princess Griff]

Yeh see I dont know what kind of rock and roll is meant here, I consider Boston (great song choice btw Creature!) more of a rock song!

I think of rock n roll as old school rock n roll with proper rock and roll dancing in the big skirts and teddy boys!

[Creature]

Ah, I see what you mean, will change it then.

[FakeSnake]

1) Frosty the Snowman - Jackson 5
2) Just a little Bit - Gina G
3) Stray cat Strut - Stray Cats
4) Lady Ga Ga - Poker Face

were the 1st ones i thought of in each category!

[Feek]

1) Driving Home For Christmas - Michael Ball
2) Oops Upside Your Head - The Gap Band
3) Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry
4) I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

[Briggykins]

Well SCOM is presumably Sweet Child O'Mine? which, I agree, is more rock than rock 'n' roll. But I prefer the idea of a rock 'n' roll christmas (see #1) so I'll pick a rock 'n' roll song:

1) Gary Glitter - Another Rock and Roll Christmas (assuming it's still okay to play that)
2) S Club 7 - Don't Stop Movin' ;D
3) Little Richard - Good Golly Miss Molly
4) The Saturdays - Up

[Feek]

4) Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

Dude, too slow.... See the post directly above yours.

[BBx]

Well SCOM is presumably Sweet Child O'Mine? which, I agree, is more rock than rock 'n' roll.

Thanks all for the feedback :) Briggy you are right with this. I so far have SCOM, Livin on a Prayer and Summer of 69.

Rock Christmas songs can be covered in the 'Christmas' section :)

The story is.. am organising the Christmas party this friday. Last friday I was told that the woman who is helping me organise it has been signed off next week with Swine Flu :/ so I have to organise everything!

We have booked a band, that finishes at 11pm. So I will need 2hrs more music and thought this would be the best way to get a track list.

The guy at the bar said that if I stick them all on an ipod it will play over the sound system... the only issue I have with this is that the songs will stop rather than be mixed in like a DJ would... but can't be helped.

One problem is that I don't have an ipod, but I can use cds... but not sure whether to mix them all in or have all the songs in one category together... hmm..

Thanks everyone! :D

So do we need to re-do our number 3s?

I'd mix them all up rather than play by category.

[Princess Griff]

Oh ok well classic dj playlists need to include Dont stop me now - Queen and Put your hands on - Reef

[BBx]

Thanks PG :)

[Knipples]

Take That - Never forget (even if they did just murder it on X factor)

Black Eyed Peas - I've got a feeling.

Fairytale of New York is always another good'un

[BBx]

List updated with another category :D

[Briggykins]

Ooh, no 70s playlist is complete without a bit of Stevie Wonder's Superstition.

[BBx]

You've been watching too much X bloody Factor! :p

[Princess Griff]

Abba - Dancing Queen! or the medley of all the best ones

[Psymonkee]

Check if the ipod or whatever you end up using has any sort of crossfader options built in :)

2 second crossover should keep people happy :D

As for songs I'm gonna try not to go too wierd :p

For the 'Rock' section consider some Feeder (Just a Day?)/Foo Fighters (Monkey Wrench works a charm :D) and possibly some Blink 182?

Also never forget Green Day! Nothing quite like Minority after something a bit slower :> (Time of Your Life - pure cheese :D)

Just for the sheer hell of it drop Back in Black in there too :D


No good forthe rest of the genres so I'll be quiet now :D

[BBx]

Thanks Guys. :)

Have another new category - think I am getting a bit carried away now.

[Princess Griff]

Slow dance...Robbie Williams - Angels or Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

70s/80s - Ah ha - Take on me!

[volospian]

70's/80's

Glam it up with a bit of T.Rex, get it on perhaps, or solid gold easy action. The Sweet - ballroom blitz

What about a bit of Gary Numan or the race by yello

Frankie goes to Hollywood?
