toby is too busy packing to ask...
we're trying to download wedding music before we move abroad and lose our internet connection. at the moment, we're looking for compilations (ie "the greatest granny R&B ever!") or greatest hits rather than one track on an album, for ease of downloading.
people will range from 25-80 and tastes vary widely. what should we grab to get people on the dancefloor?

NB-- we have about 11 hours of free internet left.
and if it were up to me, i'd play nothing but 'jock jams' all night. nearly.

Maybe "You Can't Touch This" could be brought back for a second spin at the end.

experience music project put out this comp a few years ago called "FUNK BLAST", i think. the 2nd disc is probably the best 70s/80s funk comp i've ever heard, and a lot of these songs get dissed as "wedding jams" when i bring them up:
Slide - Slave (Every Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again - L.T.D. Do Your Dance - Rose Royce One Nation Under a Groove - Funkadelic Glide - Pleasure Mary Jane - Rick James Good Times - Chic More Bounce to the Ounce, Pt. 1 - Zapp Shake Your Pants - Cameo Funkin' for Jamaica - Tom Browne She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked) - Carl Carlton You Dropped a Bomb on Me - The Gap Band Cutie Pie - One Way Ride
