OK
1 - Can I suggest ska as opposed to reggae - stuff by Goldfinger ( covers of lots of stuff on album called Darrins Coconut Arse - favourite is Feels LIke Heaven)
2- The Vandals do lots of fun songs "My Brother is Gay" is good, as is "disproptioned head"
3 - embarrassing - can't think of a song I like that I am embarrassed by...honest...but I did own a Betty Boo album when i was about 10 . Or Alice Cooper, who I do like and have seen live twice! but will admit to a little
4 - I don't 'do' dance really...woudl go along with Faithless/Chemical brothers...or Babyhead (think they are more dub/reggae/rap though?) (still, you can dance to it!!)
Raucous - hurrah! Million Dead, Hundred Reasons, nirvana, ACDC, Biffy Clyro, Billy Talent, Viking Skull ( also come under Fun actually - 'cock-rock' with tongue in cheek!! songs like "born in hell")
6 - chill? out? um [puzzled]. How about some folksy stuff like Seth Lakeman...?
see, bit niche-y...[up own arse emoticon]
