By the way, this is probably a good opportunity to let you know that soon on SoulGood there's going to be a top 30 or so choons of 2004 special. I am sure "Lola's Theme" will be in there, as will "Flashdance". There'll be a post soon giving more details.

As for playing choons that have become "popular" my attitude is if you actually still like playing that track and the crowd will enjoy it then play it. The concern for me is when one doesn't really enjoy the track but plays it anyway as it is a surebet to get a reaction.

The following quote cited in the SoulGood April 2004 chart may assist and is on point:
"For every cheesy commercial DJ who's happy to play what the record pluggers send him, who charts records he doesn't like just so he stays on the mailing list, who plays records he hates because everyone else is playing them, and who has no problem with a club giving him 'guidelines' on what and what not to play, there's another DJ who loves music, who searches out and buys records rather than just playing promotional freebies, who develops his own style, who throws his own parties, who generates his own following, who creates new music".

--Last Night A DJ Saved My Life - The History Of The Disc Jockey by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton (Grove Press New York) pg 408

Oh and I'm still waiting for DB to withdraw his rebuttal that people are beyond salvation.... From my experiences with people I don't believe it to be true at all. I am happy to explain why, but I don't think it is necessary in light of my above posts.
