Dinner Party Playlist

[sammymaguire]

Looking for a little inspiration in putting together some background music for a dinner party I am going to have next weekend, for around 18 people, so a mix of all sorts to keep everyone happy.

I've come up with these few so far but needs to be about 3 hours long:

> Broken Strings
> Next to Me - Emeli Sande
> Ho Hey
> Time After Time - Cindy
> Fireflies
> I'm Not Alone - Calvin
> Riptide
> All Night Long - Lionel
> Just the Way You Are
> No Scrubs
> Stay with Me
> The Man Who Can't be Moved
> What Makes you Beautiful
> The Man - Aloe Blacc
> Take me to Church - Hozier
> Sunchyme
> Another Chance
> Candy - Robbie
> Troublemaker
> For The First Time - The Script
> Step On
> Ruby - Kaisers
> Viva la Vida
> Ready for the Weekend
> Million dollar bill
> Rehab
> Disco 2000
> Acceptable in the 80s
> Hey Ya!
> Canned Heat
> The Flood - Take That
> Pick a Part that's New
> Hollaback Girl
> Grace Kelly - Mika
> I wanna dance with somebody - Whitney
> Disturbia
> Music - Madonna
> Roar
> Wake Me Up- Avicii
> Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Rey

throw in a few classics there as music wouldn't be my strong point *as you might see from some of those already selected

Pick a number of albums.  Ideally if you have music stored on you Computer, just ask it create the play list and play it shuffle.

For me the choice for music should include some Ska Specials, Beat, Madness, Spanish/Cuban music, Buena Vista, Adele, Country e.g. Johnny Cash, 80's Smiths, Cure, 60's Beatles, Stones, 70's Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, 40's Sinatra. Crosby, Vera Lynn.

If you had albums in those categories and play them on shuffle, everyone should enjoy some of it.

Spotify will surely have a playlist for this kinda thing?

I hear the radio on spotify is good, looks at your other music and matches it with similar stuff

Tom Petty - Free Falling
Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees or Just Looking
Throw in some Oasis

we have to assume Sammy likes the dinner guests

How are people going to talk with music blaring in the background? Dinner is for conversation. Music is for listening to, not for audio wallpaper.

Get your act together.

[The Bearded One]

Tom Petty - Free Falling
Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees or Just Looking
Throw in some Oasis

we have to assume Sammy likes the dinner guests

Hold on a minute!!!! You pick out Stereophonics from a list that includes the likes of Robbie Williams, Olly Murs and Rhianna???
