Hi there,

As the title implies, I need some ideas for songs to play for people in bars.

I have the main "banger" type songs, but I know there are a lot of other really great tracks that are catchy as hell, but didn't hit the charts that high.

Can the Reddit folks seeing this give me some song ideas for playing? I'm looking for songs that get people going - or singing along.

I really appreciate any and all suggestions you guys may have. I haven't done the DJ thing in a long time, so I'm kind of out of the loop with songs from 2008 on. However, I have done a lot of searching to find out what's popular.

Looking forward to the responses. Like I said, doesn't have to be a hit necessarily, just a bangin' track that gets 'em going. ANY Genre. Like the Rules said - Don't share a playlist link. Just tell me "Artist - Song" in a reply. Hopefully this is kosher with the Admins/OPs/Reddit Gods/Whatever.

So you’re DJing, what genre of music? What age group is the audience?

General bar audience in the Northeast. They dig J-Kwon Tipsy to Love Shack by the B52's. I'm trying to play a fun mix that is mostly stuff that gets your head nodding. I hope this helps.
