In a few short weeks my sister in law is getting hitched and I've been asked to DJ the reception. Here are the facts, Meg and Will are both 28 and graduated High School in '01 (I think); I thought this info may be important when considering appropriate material. There are the lists on the net with the standards that DJs play to get people dancing, and while those can be important, what could I be overlooking? Standard or off the charts, current or older material, what are three (or more) songs that you would recommend?
I appreciate any help y'all could give! Thanks in advance

Avalanches, Since I left You (album).... Groove is in the Heart, Dee Lite.... Cut Copy, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Michael Jackson Don't Stop till You Get Enough, Outkast, Prince, Al Green
I went to a wedding two weeks ago where the groom made the playlist for the reception, while a friend just controlled the iPod. He played a lot of oldies, including the song Travolta/Thurman danced to in "Pulp Fiction". That was a big hit. You could also go with some Chubby Checker (who doesn't like to do the Twist?!), early Beatles, The Temptations, etc.
My friend's wife is a big swing dancer so there was also a good deal of swing-style music played at their reception, which I think can be fun if people are adventurous in their dancing. Might get the older folks up and moving.
As for more current, I think some Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears would be fun to dance to, as is Sharon Jones.
;D
