help a brotha out
 

ok, so my brother asked me to burn him some music, he's got this kid business going on this summer, some jumping bullshit, and of course he needs some dance/pop music ( to please and entertain the kiddies ) and since i'm not big on the modern pop/hip hop production, i was hoping you guys could help me out, just name any song that has a good beat, from britney and destinys child, to any sort of rap/hip hop, anything that comes to mind and you think the kids might like...

You gotta put some Daft Punk on there

oh defo, but what songs? robot rock and arround the world is all that comes to mind at the mo.

here's what i got so far ( just to give you an idea ):
britney spears - toxic
bubba sparxxx - deliverance
danko jones - bounce
gorillaz - dare, feel good inc.
mary mary - praise you
new order - krafty
sugababes - round round
the black eyed peas - shut up and a few others
the dead 60's - riot radio

i don't wanna rehash old pop hits, i'm looking for newer stuff and stuff that will make a good mix cd...i'm also thinking of giving him gnarls barkley - st. elsewhere...pleanty of good and fun music there right?

Scratch the New Order song & put on that version of Kylie Minogues Can`t Get You Out Of My Head thats been remixed with Blue Monday.

yea that all sounds good for an mixed fun pop/dance album for the kiddies.. good job Adidasss and good pointer Urban.. *i used to secretly love that song by her :p: *

krafty's pretty good, whachya talkin' 'bout?? it's got a beat man, that's all i need....
i'm also contemplating giving him the entire get rich or die trying cd....whacha think? it's not as if these kids know what fitty is talk about...right?

And to think I was gonna suggest Rachel Stevens Funky Dory next

:laughing:

get some acid house

Daft Punk is where it's at.

If your brother likes 80s new wave/dance pop stuff... I'd recomend Talking Heads, Joy Division, The Police, Gang Of Four, New Order, Prince, Peter Gabriel, hell even some 80s King Crimson.

For hip hop.... Public Enemy, Dr. Dre, Nortorious B.I.G., Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest, if he hasn't heard them already... At least it should expand his tastes beyond the typical rubbish that passes as hop hop today, also Danger Doom's The Mouse And The Mask is great fun.

But for good ol' pop, Thriller... Anyone who says they don't like that album is a liar.

DJ Shadow. :pimp:

infected mushroom

beck, weezer, and treble charger are good summer bands
shiny toy guns and da rude are good techno ones

dude, did you not read the first post? this isn't for my brother's enjoyment, it's music that kids are supposed to listen to that come to this...whateveritis...i wanted you guys to tell me what's hot on the pop market in the last couple of months...what's topping the dance/hip hop/pop charts....

Oh.

Go to www.billboard.com and find out. :-/

heh....take it literally why donchya....

e-pro/loser
perfect situation/ beverly hills
american physco
~~~
sandstorm
le disko

those are songs my brother like from my ipod and its in the range from britny spears - gorillaz

thanks uglycasanova, i've decided to focus more on giving him full albums right now, the mix tape is just a bonus ( the man has to have enough music to play all day long for 2 months ), this is what i got s far:
50 cent - get rich or die trying
beck - guerro, odelay
gnarls barkley - st.elsewhere
black eyed peas - elephunk, monkey business ( damn, i had no idea monkey business was such a fun album...i'm buying it )
rihanna - a girl like me ( i bet you didn't see that one coming, it's actually a pretty good album, a couple of slow boring songs, but i'm gonna cut them out )
madonna - confessions on a dance floor
gorillaz - demon days ( i'm not sure about this one, it doesn't have a fast enough beat...:-/)
hot chip - the warning? ( whatdya think? a bit too trance-y maybe?)
the chemical brothers - push the button


perhapse ( i still gotta listen through them better ):
jamelia - thank you ( who remembers this bitch aye? )
infadels - we are not the infadels
jamie lidel - multiply
kanye west - college dropout
royksopp - melody a.m.
soulwax - any minute now
tiga - sexor
white rose movement - kick


don't think i'm gonna let you off the hook so easy....i'm gonna keep bumping this thread till you give me some good suggestions...
btw, anyone have any info on what daft punk album is best to download?

I Like Big Butts

the kids will go nuts

daft punk- discovery is good

but seriously dj tiesto

isn0t dj tiesto all...cheesey-euro-techno-housy like?

...I dont think it's cheesy :(

^^em...yeah, it's cheesey...

anywho, i've added roisin murphy - ruby blue and goldfrapp - supernature...

damnit...ruby blue is out...it's too slow...and artsy fartsy...

Daft Punk is good.
but trade Britney Spears - Toxic for Local H - Toxic (A cover of the Britney Spears song)
Story of the Year
and some techno
Amber
Sonique
the Thong Song by Sisco . . .
112 - Peaches and Cream
some DMX - What You Want From Me (or whatever that song is called)
Nappy Roots
P.O.D.
kids always go crazy over Linkin Park
and maybe some Fuel. Their song Shimmer would be good.
Christina Aguilera's Dirty or Genie
Mandy Moore - I Wanna Be With You is the perfect slow song if you need one to kinda calm the crowd down or something.
Everlong or Low by the Foo Fighters
Social Distortion and Rancid would be nice too. . . Maybe some R.E.M.
Just about anything by Blink 182, specifically Rock Show and Small Things should do the trick.
and most people love Puff Daddy. any of his old stuff. . .
and Pink. . . anything for her first album . . .
Ex-Girlfriend and Just a Girl by No Doubt
Saboage or Intergalatic by the Beastie Boys

that's all I could think of . . .
I hope things work out for your brother
Peace

bump....

i need some more albums, apparently 6 cd's each with over 6 hours of music isn't enough...still haven't downloaded daft punk, anyone wanna suggest albums?

i gave him: beck, jamiroquai, madonna, hot chip, the faint, black eyed peas, rihanna, jamelia, the chemical brothers ( push the button ), rap/hip-hop ( common, immortal technique, kayne west, roots manuva, outkast, 50 cent, talib kweli ), aqueduct, clor, gnarls barkley, hot hot heat,lcd soundsystem, mates of state, ok go, smoosh, tegan and sara, the bravery, tom vek and a random songs cd....

someone mentioned dj shadow...i think i heard one song and i'm not sure it's dance enough....

albums people...dance and pop albums....please...i ran out of ideas...

Is Metric cheesy?

no, i love metric, but i'm affraid they're a bit to rocky for the targeted audience...

LFO?

what?

Ok, it's that time of the year again. Let's do better this time folks. Anyone with a minimum of pop sensitivity (meaning you know how to tell a good pop album from a bland one and aren't afraid to listen to mainstream) recommend some good pop/dance albums from the past year (emphasis on ALBUMS, can't be bothered to download singular tracks).

I'm looking at Billboard and so far I'm gonna download the new album from Rihanna. Are the albums from R Kelly or Maroon 5 any good (and by that I mean, will 10 year old kids and retarded housewives enjoy it)?

Again, I have to repeat that if it was up to me I would play Of Montreal, LCD Soundsystem, Bloc Party, Spoon and the like, tried it last year and it didn't go over very well....>.>


P.s.: I will keep bumping this thread until someone helps me out so save yourselves some annoyance and make some suggestions.

Edit: So far I've got:

1. Rihanna - Good girl gone bad
2. Nelly Furtado - Loose
3. Nelly Furtado - Best of the remixes
3. Lilly Allen - Alright still...
4. Justin Timberlake - Futuresex lovesounds
5. Beyonce - Bday
6. Gwen Stefani - The sweet escape
7. Pink - I'm not dead

I think that covers all the heavyweights. But I need more.

Your brother's job sounds like it sucks

Doesn't every job?;)

OT: This is making me very nervous...I hate being made to guess other people's taste...especially after last year when the ingrates complained if a single song (and I think I gave them a few hundred) was a bit "slower" than they'd like it to be...I can't tell you how annoying it is when people complain about my music choices...(plus, listening to whiny bitches that pass as pop is seriously affecting my mental health, what the fuck happened to Nelly Furtado!?!?).

HELP ME PEOPLE!!! SINGLES, ALBUMS, REMIXES, ANYTHING!!

You gotta get some Justice. Album called †

If you didn't get Daft Punk last time, put Discovery (the album) on.

I am a liar. Disco music should never sell this many albums.

Anything by krafty Kuts will get the place going especially:

Krafty Kuts (Featuring A. Skillz)-Tricka Technology
Here is a track from it:
