Help me pick out music for a party

I am hosting a party for my wife's 50th birthday party. Most of our guests are the same age and probably same musical tastes: rock from the late 60's 70 and 80's (u2, jackson browne, peter gabriel, etc), jazz (miles, carter, metheny).

It is not a dance party (buffet dinner and few people sitting down) and I would appreciate suggestins for the evening. No disco, no hiphop or rap.

Thanks

Richard-

Please don"t take this the wrong way, but is music really necessary for your wife's party ? I of course dont know how many people you have invited to come over, but lets just say that you have 30 people come over, how many are going to want to hear music ? How many would rather just take it easy and socialize ?

For the people trying to listen to music, then the conversations going on might become a distraction, and vice versa. Its almost a no win situation.

What is your wife's opinion , since its her party ?

I am just trying to give you another point of view on this, that might be over-looked.

Thanks for the valid point Riley. It will be fairly low as background music and shouldn't interfere with the conversations (party will be over 3 rooms with stereo in one room only).

Jaybo, She asked me to pick it out so I will include her favorites but just wanted some additional thoughts that I might overlook.
