Most of us geezers got weaned on radio (not hearing a whole album at once), so yeah i think the Rhino thing may be a good way to go, (also this way, no one at the party would have to put up w/ a whole album of an artist that they hate). 70's Smash Hits vol. 2 is cool. Spirit in the Sky/ Little Green Bag/ Ride Captain Ride.
PS- I'd try to sneak some Ventures in there.
