Everyone knows those songs, which is why they are good party music. For most of us, we grew up on those songs. Good or Bad....We did
Uh, that was the POINT dude. Take a bunch of those rock radio hits I remember from junior high and high school and make a fun cd full of nostalgia. What should it have? Pitchfork's "best songs of the 90s" list... aka songs that are unlistenable but will make you look really cool if you pretend to like them?
If you're talking about a party it's a cd that everyone will go "oh shit, I love this song, haven't heard it in years!" Better than "what the fuck is this? a dog barking?"
I see where you're at with the Top 40....I think it's good to mix in songs nobody knows. That way people can say, "damn this song is awesome!"
This I like, Hush...Hush.... I thought I heard you calling my name.......hush..... LOOVE IT :P
Except Sundays, that's Ed day.
The mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work unless it's open. FZ
haha no need to get twisty, buddy. i just didn't know the assignment was "nostalgic walk through all the songs we were so thrilled to never have to hear again."
I actually sorta liked roughly half the bands you mentioned, for a minute anyway, but there are far better (and more dance-worthy, which is the point) songs on their albums than the no brainer radio hits you mentioned - Harvey Danger's Carlotta Valdez rings a bell...
Besides, there were far better artists/songs from that time that weren't obscure.
Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss
REM - Stand
Incubus - Vitamin/New Skin
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution
and on, and on and on
guess it just comes down to a difference in our definitions of "party music." Now That's What I Call The '90s won't ever be near my speakers.
I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realize my handful of suggestions would be interpreted as the definitive word on party music.
For the record, I like those bands as well, but the mixes I made for my car were an attempt to pull together songs I'm fond of by artists I don't feel compelled to buy albums from. That's where there's no Parliament song on the funk mix, no Who on the hard rock mix, etc. If I want to hear the Verve, I throw on Storm in Heaven. He asked for suggestions.
What is it with this board and snobbish "THAT'S what you listen to" comments?
