Any suggestions for songs for my wedding reception music list?

I just thought I'd post here to see if people had some ideas for songs I could include. I know what kind of music I like, but for weddings I'm thinking I should have more music you can dance to, etc.

So let me have it. What songs do you all like at a wedding reception?
 
I'm probably weird, but I don't think any modern music is wedding appropriate. I'd have to go back to the oldies.

 
How about tell the DJ/band the genre's you want and the genre's you want to avoid, and let them do what they are hired for?

No DJ. We're doing this ourselves. We have a sound system and more MP3s than we could ever need.
 
We had a friend do a song list for our wedding and we just hooked up the venue's sound system to my iPod with her playlist on it. She did a fantastic job and everyone, from the 10 year olds all the way to the 60 year olds, was dancing and the dance floor was full the entire time.

iPod + mp3s = :thumbsup:
 
White Wedding- Billy Idol
Also, good ole Neil Diamond is great for wedding receptions, just steer clear of Solitary Man or Love On The Rocks

:thumbsup: Hell yea!

Let's see...Collective Soul is one of my musical guilty pleasures.

The first time I heard "What I Can Give You" and "All That I Know", I immediately thought they would work well at a wedding. Both are from the most recent album, Afterwords.

a Wedding isn't a Wedding unless you play At Last by Etta James. That's the important song, the rest are just filler.
