wedding band

Inception with Billy Lockridge

So, the recent topic of wedding conversation has been our first dance song. Joe and I, being the goobers that we are love the song by Jefferson Starship, "Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now."

 

But...our band does not play that song. We could ask them to learn it, but everyone that I have talked to highly recommends not doing so. They say it never sounds the same so you're better off playing the song via CD.

 

I just feel weird about having the band play a CD...I think it is kind of cheesy...

 

So our options are (1) pick another song to dance to or (2) suck it up and play the CD.

 

Here is our band's "sample playlist." What are songs you think are musts? What songs should be on the "do not play" list?
