There's always those people who play obscure songs on the jukebox that don't really fit the mood. I make it a point not to be one of those people. You gotta play something that everyone will like.

Some of my old standby's:

Prince - Little Red Corvette
Ratt - Round and Round
Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal
MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train


Of course it depends on what kinda bar you're in.

Allman Brothers is really good biker bar music but if I'm going to a younger hangout I might play some Bobby Brown R&B.

The general rule of thumb is you can never go wrong with 80's hair metal.

What songs do you spend your hard earned money on to get the crowd going?

What kind of place do hang out where they have Ratt on the jukebox? Cougar central? Thats quite the assumption, that everyone will like that overplayed 80s crap.

I dunno man something about alcohol makes everyone an 80's fan i've noticed. yeah the cougars love it the most probably.

modern rap always seems to bring the room down but i go with this one sometimes if i think the wiggers are out in full force.

Fuck I dunno man I don't go to the bar anymore. But let me try and take that trip down memory lane...four years ago....

I do remember putting Prison Sex by Tool on there a lot. Something about that line 'shit blood and cum on my hands' generally resonated with the sort of appetites I had during that time - not literally those three things, but that sort of unleashed filthiness.

Hum what else. I'd almost always throw a Sublime song on there, because everyone liked sublime, but I'd NEVER put on santeria, it would always be something off 40 oz cuz I was JUST SO COOL like that.

Oh and something from the beloved classic compilation: Big Shiny Tunes 2. Blur's song 2, Prodigy's breathe, marylin manson's beautiful people, radiohead's paranoid android, bran van 3000's drinkin' in LA, that album was gold, in the 90s as a kid in elementary, and in the early 2000s as a kid inebriated.

Oh Loverboy is choice bar music... I think I've played Lovin' Every Minute Of It a time or two.


Sir-Ex those are God-aweful bar songs. Sublime, Marilyn Manson, Tool? Do they serve 15 year olds at that bar?

Depends on what bar I go to. If I go where the younger crowd is I play some GNR, ACDC, and Tom Petty. Throw in some Lupe, Wiz, and misc hip hop. If I go to the PVR (older crowd) I tend to play more country than hiphop. Country artists are usually Brooks and Dunn, George Straight, and Toby Keith.
