    I am particularly proud of having had a playlist that included Danzig - Mother and Slayer - South of Heaven at my wedding bash... shoved in between a bit of Van Halen, Smiths and and other more acceptable 'guitar-based' music like on that list I admit... but everyone loved it for the novelty factor, even those who didn't necessarily like it!! :D Sure beats the ubiquitous Kung Fu Fighting and Abba set lists!
