Need music for a retirement party


Recommended Posts

So at work we have 3 people who will retire in a month, we are planning a little party in one of our conference rooms. It will just be cake, coffee and about 100 people.

 

I was given the task of providing some background music, mostly because nobody else wanted it... ugh

 

Anyways, I have no idea of what music to play, can I can some suggestions from the community? Thanks!

 

By the way, this is a professional environment and will have people ranging from friends and family, to department staff, to big time executives.

Anything by Napalm Death.

If you really want to send them out in style, I'd go with Amon Amarth. Just so they know they are going out in style, ready to ride into Valhalla like true vikings.

Or you could play it safe and do some Hall & Oates, Lionel Richie, Just anything soft rock from the 80s is a good choice for any occasion.

An adult alternative station on Spotify or Pandora would probably good a decent choice.

Thanks, i want to setup my own playlist and know what is going to be playing. But i think i am going to use spotify and pandora station to give me ideas of songs to get. Thanks for the thought!

 

definitely adding that song to the mix. Thanks!

 

Play this for the duration of the meeting.

 

 

lol, the meeting isnt long enough to get to the end of the song :P

I actually do not like the original at all. Like the stuff by Evil Activities quite a lot. But! I was joking. Being serious now, I think some balearic downtempo will be perfect. Can't go wrong with that:

    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
