What do you play in your jukebox?

This may not be appropriate for this particular forum, but I wonderd, what does everyone plays in their jukeboxes? This also goes for ones in active service.

On the whole are we talking your "classic" 50s / early 60s rock and pop? How often do you change up the records?

I'm rather organised.
On one I have;-
30 X 50/60s Pop
30 X 70/80s Pop
10 X Doo-Wop
10 X Jazz Standards

On the other it's 50 X Motown/R&B/Soul

Of course on these, I've a total of 480 "A" sides of everything from the forties to literally "last week."

I regularly change the playlists, to include something I like I've head on the radio or TV.
For example, I heard this over the credits of TV programme last week and I've put it on.
I like most things that have a good tune and are performed well.

However, if I were to check the popularity meters on my jukeboxes, some records "you have to have in them" I don't play as often as I imagine I do.

I'm so lazy. My juke is filled with 60s 70s Rock. I run it every week or two. I've got one 33 1/3 record in there (Gallows Pole, Led Zeppilin) that I use just to exercize the function. Rather than make title strips and reload, I skip around the records I don't like. No rhyme or reason to what is in there, but I do need to check the popularity wheel and pull the ones I don't play. That is of course some day when I am bored enough.

50's/60's "pop"

Myself, I love Psychedelic rock from the 60s, and also most pop and rock music from the 60s.

Particularly into early 60s pop right now, and 50s stuff too. Quite fond of a bit of Neil Sedaka

In addition to that SOME 70s pop (not much), 70s rock / prog rock. ABBA as an artitst, are banned completely

I also steer clear of most 80s stuff.

My current favourtie Jukebox track is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n_-StDp5tM (Hank Thompson - A sixpack to go)

Been in there and survived many rotations. Just sounds fantastic in the jukebox, along with a few drinks!

My LPC-1 has 50's/60's
SMC-1 has mostly 70's/80's

Finding it harder and harder to find new pressings of older songs.

I have used this firm quite often, but the shipping costs from the USA have dramatically increased in the last few years, so I've mostly given up on them.

Thanks for the link.
I did find it interesting they have a lot from the 'collectables' label, and that company is basically in my backyard.
