(or 40th!)

We like depeche mode and the cure and kind of stone roses but obviously it is a party and needs to be a lot more FUN than a lot of that!

So far i have early jacksons, some madonna, m people, mock turtles,black box,buggles, mel c,charles and eddie,cher,david essex so a fairly mixed bag!

I want suggestions and LOTS of them please.
I know i am 40 and should not admit this but i like to dance!

yes to abba

NO to agadoo - thanks popsycal but although we live in the north I am hoping the party will not be a remake of Rita Sue and Bob too!
