Maestro and I were talkin'; this came up.

What's you're secret (well I guess it won't be so secret) weapon; the song that when you put on, you know everyone is saying "Damn, I haven't heard that song in ages"...What a great song!!

Frank Sinatra - The Way you look Tonight
Barry White - First, Last, Everything
Signal Hill - Barretts Privateers
Bois Joli - La Party Commence (for the Acadian Guests)
 
Gary US Bonds - This Little Girl

Burton Cummings - My Own Way To Rock

The Rankin Family - Johnny Tulloch
 
It starts off with talking I usually cue it in about 15 seconds or so. Its fast and with the right crown it works very well. I like it as much or more than Heave away
 
Not sure this would work for everyone. But I played it for a HS reunion for the class of '72 a couple weeks ago. I put it on and one guy stood up and yelled, "Great song! Turn it up! I haven't heard this in forever!"

This song was the first song I remember hearing for weeks at a time on the radio. I loved it then and still do. What do you guys think about it?

Partidge Family - "I Think I Love you" :sqcool:
 
Mmmmm Laurie Partridge
Great Song

Rasputin
Little Willie
Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
Joan Jett Rock Ultimix
Frank and Nancy-Something Stupid
Duecette-Mama Let Him Play

to name a few
