i am 36 and playing a high school reunion this friday. obviously i know records from this era but these people are a little older than me and i kinda want to be sure to throw as much from those years as possible, there is ALOT of good music from that time.this will be a 70/30 black/white crowd.just looking for any last minute recommendations that may have slipped by.if you are near that age throw a couple things out you may expect to hear please.thanks

    I just skipped mine a couple months ago(too far away)

    Big slow songs where I grew up in 86

    Drive - the Cars
    Purple Rain-Prince
    Don't Stop Believing-Journey
    Time After Time-Cindy Lauper


    dance stuff

    Let's Go Crazy/When Doves Cry/Just bring the Purple Rain Soundtrack
    All of Thriller/some of Off the Wall
    some Whodini
    Beastie Boys
    Clash-stuff like Radio Clash and Rock the Casbah, Train in Vain

    Get the tracklists from these and make sure to bring the songs





    covers a lot of ground on the White portion of the crowd at least

    thanks for the feedback so far guys.

    of course i am gonna be playing all post 85 sample based hip hop.
    the school was mostly black so i am sticking to that style of music mostly. the white kids who attended were very open to hip hop and all that so i will be pretty safe i think.

    seems we are on the same page so far. i just want to make sure i get it right.

    keep em coming
