Hello Progheads,
The forecast down below must call for a cooling trend because I've always said it would be a cold day in hell before I get married, but this July I am getting hitched!
For the reception I am torn about what music to be played because the music is so important to me yet I don't want to alienate my fiancee's guests by playing a bunch of 20 minute prog epics. As much as I would like to have a live band I haven't been able to find any that could scratch my musical itch (hey, it is my wedding!) but also are appropriate for folks that want to dance. (Me, I'm not a dancer. Don't go there.) So I've kind of resigned myself to hiring a DJ that can play a wide variety of music including some tastefully selected progressive tunes. But what songs are suitable for a wedding? I know you guys will have some ideas.
Here is a short list I've started - nothing set in stone at this point:
When You Give Your Love To Me - Kevin Gilbert
You - Tony Banks
Your Own Special Way - Genesis
No One Can Take You Away From Me - Marillion
All On A Sunday - Spock's Beard (not sure if this will work, but the wedding is on a Sunday)
Non-prog:
Love Shack - The B52's (guilty pleasure song for me)
I Got The Fire - Montrose (not sure if this will work)
Non-dance tunes (dinner music?)
And You and I - Yes
Love, Reign O'er Me - The Who
Last Train Home - Pat Metheny (instrumental - my fiancee just loves the song)
For Today - Camel
I'm interested in hearing what kind of music you guys think would be good for a wedding. Like my list, they don't necessarily all need to be prog. OK folks, have at it!
