Every bank holiday Monday in the GPO Nite Club in Galway they have a sh*te night where the DJ's play the worst music in their collection; Eifel 65, Aqua, Riverdance etc.
Since September my indie night in the drum (the second room of the GPO) has being switched to a Monday night so next week I'll be playing my first ever rawk sh*te night and I need your help people. I need music that I would never normally play but that people would still recognise and more importantly still enjoy in some guilty fashion.
I'm thinking cock rock, hair metal, nu-metal, any metal in general, novelty bands, 70's MOR, power ballads, driving rock anthems, air guitar classics, anything that pops up on compilations that are advertised on Eurosport at three in the morning and the kind of stuff that they used to play on Atlantic 252 back in the day.
For example;
4 Non Blondes
AC/DC
Aerosmith
Alice Cooper
Alien Ant Farm
Aslan
Bad Company
The Bangles
Barenaked Ladies
Billy Idol
Blink 182
The Bloodhound Gang
Bon Jovi
Boston
Bryan Adams
Chicago
Chumbawamba
Counting Crows
Crash Test Dummies
Crazy Town
The Cult
The Darkness
Dead Or Alive
Deep Purple
Def Leppard
Dire Straits
The Divinyls
Electric 6
Europe
Extreme
Foreigner
Free
Gary Glitter
Good Charlotte
Green Day
Guns N' Roses
Huey Lewis & The News
Incubus
INXS
Joan Jett
Kiss
The Knack
Lenny Kravitz
Limp Bizkit
Los Lobos
Lynard Skynard
Men At Work
Meat Loaf
Metallica
Midnight Oil
Monkees
Monty Python
Mötley Crüe
Motorhead
Mr Big
New Radicals
Nickleback
No Doubt
The Offspring
Phantom Planet
The Police
The Proclaimers
Puddle of Mudd
Queen
Rainbow
Ram Jam
Reef
The Revs
The Saw Doctors
Scorpions
Soul Asylum
Smash Mouth
Spin Doctors
Spinal Tap
Starship
Steppenwolf
Sum 41
Survivor
Team America
Tenacious D
They Might Be Giants
Toni Basil
Top Loader
Toto
Transvision Vamp
U2
Ugly Kid Joe
Van Halen
Vic Reeves & The Wonder Stuff
Wheatus
Whitesnake
William Shatner
Yes
ZZ Top
Anyone got anything else to add, or any particulat favourites out of the list or is there anything there that's just too sh*te to be enjoyed on any level. Remember at all the sh*te of the pop/dance/hip-hop variety will be played in the next room so I have to play music of the guitar driven variety.

I haven't heard anyone play Duran Duran in years other than myself at an ipod party. Although the Gardai did arrive suspiciously soon after to stop it.

I saw a guy in the chipper last night wearing a Quo denim jacket. Best merch ever.
Anyway, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart".

there's plenty of non-sh*te stuff on your list, stroller - like benni and nerraw, I like duran duran too. on which note, play a bit of adam ant - I remember seeing him on TOTP at age 7 (I was 7, not him) singing 'puss in boots' and thinking 'wow, now THAT'S a pop star!'. I looked up the video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj31TRWCYsQ&mode=user&search=
...now how could people not dance to that?
