1982 reunion in San Mateo (What to play for a high school reunion early 80s) (Bay Area dj serving San Jose, Gilroy and Burlingame) (Los Angeles Dj serving Burbank, Glendale, and Hollywood)

It is crazy that 1982 didn’t seem like that long ago. I do remember the 80s. It has some of the best music of all time. There is so much to choose from. When doing a reunion, you have to see what year the group graduated and you can search the years. So for 1982 we were looking at 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. Its good to capture a year before they entered high school and a year after high school. I will look for the hits of the year. One of the theories I always come across is the late 70s folks were labeled two types: One type was the rockers and the other type was the disco folks. Rarely they were both it was one or the other.

Our contact gave us a list which I will post right now and it was pretty much all rock based. These songs that were included was Boston, Queen, Reo Speed Wagon, Elton John, Journey, Jackson Brown, Eagles, Simon and Garfunkel, Lynard Skynard, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, The Cars, Foreigner, Styx, Van Halen, and Supertramp.

Its always good to prepare. We had all the rock music and in our back pocket we had the disco just in case. And it was good that we were prepared with disco since most of the folks wanted it at the event.
