That's how I felt about the last Post Malone album when he had 7 of the top 20 Hot 100 spots .. the music is formulaic and the singing (OK, mumble rapping) isn't anything special.
Weddings Most Hated Requested Songs
- Thread starter OmniaDMP
- Start date
The mix from Select Mix is pretty good...
Select Mix :: DJ Remixes and Edits :: Extended Intro Remixes For DJ's
or this one from 9inch remix (lofi'd for demo purposes):
Dropbox - Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd - PARTYUP-1.0 - (LOFI).mp3
He's from 'Nawlins .. no version of an Alabama song will be good enough ..
Any requests solely for Beyonce or Rihanna , usually reflects an "attitude" as well as a music choice I have often found.
It's not necessarily or even mostly a N'awlins thing..it's a Saban thing.He's from 'Nawlins .. no version of an Alabama song will be good enough ..
Geaux Tigers!!!
Found my most hated thing to date. Last minute wedding in 2 weeks. The bride wants me to play ONLY her playlist from her ipod. Oh well. Told them they would be better off just renting my equipment at that point.
uuughhhhh....thats a bummer
i guess thats the world we live in now... the symbiotic relationship between a person and their ipod fools them into believing their guests will share in their personal taste.... they may learn a valuable lesson ...that Ricky Martin B side that u love to stairmaster to will make 90% of the room sit and stare from their table....and think the dj is wack
i would take the money.... set up the sound/lighting....hit play ....and hide...lol

yea I don't want my name associated with this one. The groom apparently hates "music" and wants nothing played at all.
Yea rental only. I'll have somebody there to keep an eye on my equipment. I can't have my name associated with this, even though she has "the best wedding playlist ever." I'll nope out of this...
But he is wearing jeans and work boots to the wedding. B asked me if I can match lighting to his jeans....
Okay, so maybe quadruple your rate.........................man, that one sounds like a complete no-win situation. The only thing better would be to take it then pull some skit that puts the groom front & center and embarrasses him thoroughly.
American Pie is also one of the songs I don't care to play, a real good vibe killer. Another is Bohemian Rhapsody, both just stupid sing a long dragging songs. A couple others I don't get excited about playing are Proud Mary and Joy To The World, (not the Christmas song)
I will happily play Unchained Melody, Wonderful Tonight, And Lady In Red is actually one I use often to dedicate to any ladies wearing red. Mostly will find this at Holiday parties.
Anymore I'll play Cha Cha Slide, Cupid shuffle and Electric Slide ONLY if requested.
I agree with the Drake comments. He is popular and a great choice at many events, but I too, can't tell much differences in his songs.

The only song I refuse to play is You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive I don't and wont ever have it in my library. From the first time I heard it I hated that song. Fortunately it's never requested
Maybe it's an age thing and the fact that you pretty much grew up in the business with MP3 but listening to Lady in Red on CD or Vinyl it has to be one of the best sounding recorded songs of all time at least to my ears anyway
I will always play her if asked but Lorrie Morgan is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Michael Bolton is the same. I always felt the two of them were talented I just think they are singing the wrong music or something
If I could find a way to do it and remain in business I would never play a Drake song again.

I play it occasionally (for the 50-60 year olds) .. I don't mind it.
Ha! And those are the ones who should NOT be spinnin' around!
