Can l sLarL by saylng LhaL Mr. awyers ls a brave man! CLher Lhan pollucs and rellglon Lhere
are few Lhlngs LhaL arouse more passlon Lhan dlscusslng muslc, even more so when lL
comes Lo raung Lhe besL Lracks of a genre or era, and ascoe may be Lhe cause of many an
lnamed dlscusslon ln Lhe near fuLure!
l've been a professlonal u! for almosL 30 years and have been lucky enough Lo work all over
Lhe world. Muslc has been a greaL way for me Lo connecL wlLh people of many dlerenL
culLures and languages, and l've been able Lo dlscover Lons of superb muslc from such
dlscusslons.
1here are few Lhlngs ln llfe LhaL are more sub[ecuve Lhan muslc. lor almosL any song or
arusL you care Lo Lhlnk of, you can probably nd someone LhaL loves LhaL Lrack/arusL and
also someone LhaL desplses lL/Lhem! Lven ln a dlscusslon beLween Lwo people LhaL love Lhe
same arusL Lhere can be huge dlerences of oplnlon on LhaL arusL's besL songs.
l found Lhls Lo be a fasclnaung and lnLeresung book. uld l agree wlLh all of lL? AbsoluLely
noL. 8uL dld l en[oy lL? l mosL cerLalnly dld.
Forcvorn
L
lL denlLely goL me Lhlnklng abouL whaL l would've chosen ln many of Lhe genres, buL Lhen, lf
you asked me Lo llsL Lhe besL 10 oul records, and asked me LhaL same quesuon every day for
a week, l'd almosL cerLalnly glve you seven compleLely dlerenL llsLs! And lL would be Lhe same
for many oLher genres, so l do noL envy ascoe for Laklng on such a Lask, as l'd have found lL
excruclaung.
l could see Lhls book belng of lnLeresL Lo a very wlde cross secuon of people. lrom u!s needlng Lo
expand Lhelr muslc knowledge a llule for an upcomlng glg, Lo brldes pumng LogeLher a requesL
llsL for Lhelr weddlng recepuon, Lo Lhe muslcally advenLurous wanung Lo dlp Lhelr Loe lnLo some
unknown muslc sLyles, and many many oLhers.
l hope you en[oy Lhls book as much as l dld ... and leL me lmplore you noL Lo hunL down ascoe
because you sLrongly feel LhaL Lhe 8ee Cees should've been lncluded ln Lhe Lop 10 parLy

By The De ca de
One of the more popular theme party ideas is picking a decade and
having everything match, from peoples party clothes to the decorations
and the food and drink on offer. Naturally, the music has to match as
well! As a DJ Ive been surrounded by dancers in top hats or long strings
of pearls, sipping on gin izz (1920s), or by groups of people shaking
their booty in psychedelic tie-dyed t-shirts under a ceiling hung with
peace signs (1960s). Because not everyones familiar with the songs of
bygone eras, these lists will help you ind artists and groups who were
popular back in the day.
No matter when you were born, youve got a place at the turntable at
.toptues.o.uk. What akes ou deade speial?

Theyre playing our song! Thats what you want people to say years
after the party is over, as they hear a melody and remember that special
celebration that marked a signiicant event in their lives. Weddings,
anniversaries, retirement parties that are both the end of something
and the start of something new theres a song for that!
Im constantly adding to this list as people come to me with new reasons
to celebrate. Since the deinition of special occasion means something
different to everyone, theres a lot of room for ideas and discussions.
Go to .toptues.o.uk and leL us know whaL you've been celebraung,
and whaL was on Lhe soundLrack aL Lhe parLy!
