I need some help! I'm in the process of doing the song list for our wedding reception, and I'm running out of steam.
I'm looking for songs in 2 categories : slow songs (for slow dancing and also to be played as background music during dinner) and stuff to shake your booty to. I'm working on a mix of stuff that moms remember and like and current stuff that won't make older folks cringe. I'm also trying desperately to avoid the typical wedding cheese, ie. Celine Dion and the like. If it were my choice it would be nothing but 90's alt rock, but I think not everyone would share my enthusiasm. So, can you guys think of songs or artists that are a) easily recognizable by a crowd, b) fun to dance to, c) a little edgy and d) not dorky?
Some of the artists I have so far are:
Jimmy Buffet (it is a beach wedding)
The Beatles
Dave Matthews
The Killers
Savage Garden
James Taylor
Bob Seger
John Mayer
U2
Joe Cocker
The Verve
Peter Gabriel
Sublime
Billy Joel
Assorted 80's pop songs
10,000 Maniacs
Assorted Disco/Funk songs
Journey
Any ideas?
