Dinner party playlist?

skytop

Hi, My girlfriend is hosting a dinner party on saturday night, well it's our turn in a Come dine with me style Competition between her and her friends. My question is ,seeing as i've been given the job of organizing the music for the night i could do with all the help i can get!A playlist would be a great help? I'm thinking it has to be just background music but not sure what kind! All Guest are young professionals in or around the 30 year old mark!


Thanks in advance!

Keano!

Last one I was at, I remember this playing toward the end of the night.

Glenn Goulds 1955 recording of the Goldberg Variations might be nice.

rcaz

Bitches Brew and Metal Machine Music.

ClutchIt

"I" by "Meshuggah"

Dan Dare

Music To Watch Girls Go By.

Boom_Bap

I used to always go with Norah Jones during dinner parties.

Air and David Axelrod would also be good.

RayCon

Deicide's debut album obviously ....

Do you want music that people might listen to, or music to fill up bits of silence?

Mostly the latter but a little bit of both if you get my drift!!:D

Anything with an acoustic guitar and a 'nice' voice. Someone said Norah Jones, I bet that'd do.

Iron Hide

Megadeth always works!! :P

On a serious note, In the Mood by Glen Miller

You can't go wrong with Henry Mancini. Lounge Music galore. Perfect for get togethers. We had friends over for dinner recently, and had some HM on in the background, and it was perfect.
