Flushgarden 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 We're having a birthday party for my wife on Friday night, and whenever we do something like this her younger brother and sister always bring a bunch of their friends and they're all into the hip hop crap, and they always try to force it down our throats and take over the party. They dont really have any bad intentions, they just dont realize that we hate it. Anyway, I need to make a few mixed cds with ROCK songs that would be good for a party. I have some of my own ideas but I need a lot more suggestons. Anything from modern to classic rock...as long as it has a guitar. (well actually some electronic music might be ok too)OK, 1, 2, 3....GO Link to post Share on other sites
Miguel McHarris 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones are always good for parties. Link to post Share on other sites
scram 1 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 "Hey man. Neither she nor I like hip hop very much and since it's her birthday party, I'd really rather that you not play any of it".Mother by Danzig. Link to post Share on other sites
Flushgarden 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Mother by Danzig.Going on the list.Also Zeppelin and the Stones are good suggestions too. Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtydutch 9 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Michael Jackson. Nothing says sophisticated boy-girl party like MJ's Black and White. And also, this phrase "boy-girl party." Link to post Share on other sites

mbreon 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Albums that will work for a party.....Beck - Midnite Vultures, maybe my fav party albumBasement Jaxx - Rooty, electronic-pop. If you need more easy-listening electronic, go with Fatboy Slim's You've Come a Long Way, BabyBob Marley - any album will do, but for a party, go with Legend or ExodusThe Cars - The Cars if you want to throw in some `80sAndrew W.K. - I Get Wet if you just want loud music about partyingJamiroquai - go with Emergency on Planet Earthas suggested above, any Zeppelin or Stones album is good. Zeppelin I and IV might be good, Stones, go with Let it Bleed or Exile on Main St.Robert Randolph & The Family Band - UnclassifiedSlightly Stoopid - Everything You NeedSly & The Family Stone - Stand!Tom Petty - Highway CompanionWidespread Panic - Til the Medicine TakesThis should just about cover it.....

Flushgarden 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Talking HeadsPsycho Killer!Oh wait..maybe that wouldnt be a good song for this week.Everyone elses suggestions are appreciated too, especially the MJ...more songs! I need to fill like 4 hours. Link to post Share on other sites

DoinSublime 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 For Bob Marley I'd go with Babylon by Bus, or the find the Sasalito(sp?) recordings in '70 or '71.Just a whole lot more energy in the live shows.Depending on the mood of the party, throw in some Chuck Berry, Jack Johnson, or Sublime.

I dont have time to download the entire albums, and I cant afford to buy them right now.Also Sublime and Jack Johnson are musts. Do you listen to CYY, sublime? Thats what I listened to when I was in Maine...it was a pretty good little station. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what I listened to when I was in Maine...it was a pretty good little station.I am CYY.Ha, just kidding. I wonder if they still use that, I bet they do. I used to listen to it, but I really haven't listened to the radio much at all recently. I'll have to next time I am in the car.Have a blast with the party, and don't be afraid to say what Scram said. (We really don't like hip hop, it's her party, we'd appreciate it if you let go...)edit -The two Chuck Berry's I would recommend are: Memphis, Tennessee and Maybelline. People will be singing at those, although anything from Blues Berry would work. Link to post Share on other sites

DoinSublime 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Modest Mouse, Float On is good.I have never listened to The Killers that I know of. I probably have heard a song or two and not known it, but, get to it?How about some early Black Crowes, No Doubt, some old school Sam and Dave, and U2. Link to post Share on other sites
Zeatrix 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Every single song from Metallicas black album.Weezer has also probably made the best album ever in Pinkerton, just listen to it, it's genius. Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtydutch 9 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 And I'm sure he reads playboy for the articles too.If I'm ever caught with a Playboy, assume there was an artical I wanted to read. Anyone who claims they still jerks off to Playboy is prolly a fag. I'm so desensitized at this point I can't get it up for anything that isn't illegal for at least seven reasons.
