Clark Hall Pub Hitlist
Ashley Bristowe writes up Chris Turner's Clark Standards Songlist, a compilation of the big hits at Clark Hall Pub, the engineering student-run bar at Crazy Go Nuts University
where Turner and I used to DJ. The list covers Ashley's stay there,
1991 through 1996, which overlaps significantly with mine (1987 - 1994;
I DJ'd at Clark from 1989 through 1994). On the list:

When I was a bartender many years ago, this was the song I kept in the CD player to blast people out to the sidewalks at closing.
Speaking of weddings, holy chuppah Accordion-Man - congratumalations!!! Welcome to married life. Don't believe the hype - marriage is the best. Unless that's what the hype tells you. In which case, um, do believe it.
As for the marriage thing, it's pretty sweet.
Again, I feel I must comment.
The following weren't necessarily favourites of all Clark patrons, but it was a pretty safe bet you would here these songs when Phil and I were, for two years, laying the ground work for Joey and Chris to come.
Ramones - I wanna be sedated
Drastic Measures - Teddy Bear's Picnic
Forgotten Rebels - Surfin on Herion
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
Additionally, I don't think I ever bartendended when Joey was playing that I didn't, at least once, hear AC/DC's Thunderstruck.
In closing, there was a Clarck tape in the stereo closet that always came out after hours for cleanup and the inevitable drinks that followed. I can't recall much that was on the tape, mostly seventies and melancholy, but I do remember the appropriateness of one song without which no discussion of Clark standards is complete - The Load Out/Stay by Jackson Browne.

Guns and Roses - Sweet Child of Mine
Cheap Trick - Surrender (live at budokan) - I remember Perry Clarke playing this on repeat for an hour.
George Michael - Faith (responsible for the Dave Hall 'jig')
Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun
B-52's - Love Shack
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Still in there was some The The, Cure, Depeche Mode and Smiths. Colin, your science formal smokers were legendary and memorable for me. Even if you do hate The Smiths.
and you know they are still doing that stupid KC dance that Maggie and Tracy started.
