One of the most vital considerations when planning a New Year's Eve party is making sure you get the music right. Do you go for a populist selection to get your guests dancing, or aim for something a bit more specialist?
We asked @guardianmusic Twitter followers for some recommendations for an NYE playlist. We've popped the results here: New Year's Eve Party Music Spotify Playlist. It's a collaborative list, so feel free to add your own suggestions, or leave them in the comment thread below.

As it's 2012, why not End of the World - REM?
@dennisbowrick
Party Hard by @AndrewWK obvs
@serap_tweets
Prince - 1999. Even though that year has been and gone, still a great NYE theme.
@HuwLHopkins
@serap_tweets So is Will2K by Will Smith
@serap_tweets
And Jump around by House of Pain. Just cos it was always played at the NYE indie night in my home town.
@tabithabang
For self-indulgent gloominess it's gotta be Death Cab for Cutie's The New Year, surely
@lisadevaney
How about Celebration for the New Year's Eve party, by Kool & The Gang?
@harryrm
Thank God It's Not Christmas by Sparks
@jkalifornia
Daft Punk One More Time - EVERY TIME.
