*** This week we look at all of our favourite vintage rock songs that always get a party started ->

When it comes to party music, Vintage Rock songs age like fine wine. Much like wine, It takes time for songs to ripen. There is a magic that happens when a song remains popular over decades, long enough for different generations to fall in love with it. This is the reason why wedding and event music relies on so many classic songs to fill the dance-floor. These selections remain popular as they are the only ones that excite both young and old listeners, inspiring them to sing and dance along together. We have tested both new and old songs out on the dance floor over the years, and it remains these Vintage Classics that continue to outperform all the others with their unique ability to be recognized and loved by audiences both young and old. And also like a fine wine, these songs have a lasting appeal and coolness gained by their maturity. Here are our 50 favourite Vintage Rock Classics for you to enjoy, best served chilled as the room is sure to heat up a little once they start playing!
