Genesis Cruisers - Let's Start Get Our Music List Started

Ok everyone, since we're having a DJ at our pre-cruise party, we should start making a list of songs we want played. I will do my best to keep the master list up to date but, if I happen to miss your suggestion or suggestions please let me know! We want everyone to enjoy this party so there will probably be a large variety of songs.

Please submit Full Song Title and Artist to help make things easier for the DJ. For example, don't say that song by The Beatles. Say "Day Tripper" by The Beatles. Thanks!

I'll get things started:
