Music for kids of seventies/Teens of eighties/ students early 90's

[RoyKinnear]

(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 sue my do is not till december but am trying to make it pleaseurable so doing music slowly
when is yours?

How about Prince?Some good tunes for a party.

yes esp old stuff!

If you want to see Dad Dancing at it's finest you need
Madness!! - one step beyond
only when they're completely mullered though,it's kind of scary, but hilarious at the same time
mustn't forget
Dexy's come on eileen
the pogues Irish rover
Lisa X

waterboys: whole of the moon

James - Sit Down
Blur
Suede
Shakespeare's Sister (and Bananarama!)

My bro is a dj and at one of my parties recently he chucked in Strawberry Switchblade's 'Since Yesterday' and Scarlet Fantastic's 'No Memory', went down really well!

"This song is not a rebel song. This song is SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY!" Hate U2 now, but that song really, really reminds me of 20-odd years ago...
