Weirdly, this is the one point that winds me up the most on this thread so far. It's. Not. A. Motown. Night. Maybe about 10% of the stuff I play on Tuesdays is a product of Berry Gordy's Detroit-based label. There's lots more going on on that night than Motown.
So there.
It's my favourite night too, although they're all wonderful in their own way.
As for not playing The Music or Coxon (Joy Division and Prodigy still get played all the time), time moves on. Tastes change. I highly doubt anyone would dance to The Music these days, given that they haven't released anything of worth for about five years. They were a band of their time, and that's where they should stay. Coxon gets dusted off occasionally, but there's so much more material in that vein that's more contemporary and relevant to the clientele today that it only happens on special occasions.
