Looking to pad out Ipod

[SimonS]

Any of you lot been DJ's at parties + functions or whatever?

Getting a bit bored of my music collection and was after more tunes that remain classic throughout the years. I added the Vice City sountrack and it's nice when an 80's song breaks the shuffle of my hip hop and dream theater .

What are some good songs / albums which remain great through time?

[El Capitan]

Hmm it depends how cheesy you want to get?

Reef - Place your hands cheesy?

...or are you after tracks like New Order - True Faith ??

[HS the Wasp]

What type of music fan are you, as well? I could list you tons of good metal that'll never get old..

I started with the vice city sound track and built up from there. 80s parties always seem to be the best from my experience anyway. Ill try to dig up one of the playlists.

Michael Jackson is a must to any 80s list

The Pixies - Surfer Rosa

REM - Automatic for the People

and anything from The Talking Heads; specifically though, Speaking in Tongues
