I need (musical) help - request a song (or songs)

People, I need your help.

I have another of my radio shows on Saturday and I've not really sat down to think about what I'm going to play. This is basically because I've been up to my neck in writing the latest issue of the company magazine but enough of my petty worries...

Anyway, can you please suggest some songs for me that I can pick from and I'll give you a shout on air. I'm not too worried how many you list but I do need them to be non-political with no swearing.

On the show I'll play anything from the early 60s to the present day but the main era is somewhere in the middle in the 1975-1995 bracket. I need some electronic dance, punk, indie, rock, pop, disco etc. you know the score.

If you do want to dedicate it someone I can do that and if there's a story to tell why you chose the song then that's good too.

Cheers in advance.
