I think its a pretty good mix of different types of music and includes everything that people will like. I'm going to let the DJ know which songs are the must-play songs and just let him have fun from there. My parents were/are huge Rod Stewart and Phil Collins fans and Tom's parents listed to a lot of Peter Cetera and Chicago so I knew that we needed to include lots of songs by those artists. We also tried to throw in some of the best music from each decade.
