well the songs are really your own personal tastes. What are the songs you hate? Your dj should have a list and then you basically say what you definitely DO NOT want to hear. That should make it simpler.

My dj had YMCA for christ's sake!!! you gota be kidding so my do not play list is like

mariah carey
toni braxton
boy bands
techno
funk
rock
country
jennifer lopez
britney spears

There is more but I am like you and working on my list also.

Re: ok don't know what just happen.. but i need help with songs i should or should't have for the dj!

this is what I did:
must have songs
must have groups
DO NOT PLAYS

(I also had a list of the kind of music for dinner...but thats b/c we did a little something different for DH)

I also mentioned the type of people that were attending...not younger than late 20's...so I didn't want any really recent music - so that I was sure that there wouldn't be any genres that didn't fit


here is my list...work off it if you want...

*George Michael – Faith
Fleetwood Mac – Don’t Stop thinking about tomorrow

*Police – Every little thing she does is magic
Cyndi Lauper – Girl’s Just Want to Have Fun (for Bride’s mother)
*Barry Manilow – CopaCabana (for Bride’s mother)
*groove is in the heart – dee-lite
*Never There – Cake
Conga is OK…if it is of the Harry Belefonte genre
* My first, my last, my everything – Barry White
* Let me stand next to your fire – Jimi Hendrix
