Interesting how Enter Sandman has made it up there as a 'token heavy-metal song' along with Ace of Spades on a jukebox playlist, must be my age... :).
Back in the day, when I used to go to pubs, and indeed when they had juke boxes, with 4 tracks for a quid.
I used to put on -
Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland - 9+ mins Thin Lizzy - Rosalie / (Cowgirl's Song) (Live) / Cowboy's Song / The Boys Are Back In Town (Live) - one trackFrom the Album - Soldier of Fortune - 13 mins long. Queen - Innuendo - 6+ mins
+ a random other.
Giving about an half hour music feast.
That Thin Lizzy medley was magic value for money - a massive favourite with me and my mates too.
Always think Come Up and See Me is a classic in a pub - guaranteed to get you oooh lalaing. Key thing to remember is the song does not stop suddenly and finish - the sudden stops always lead to another burst. If only radio Djs had the courage to respect that!
Genesis - Turn It On Again (bonus points for the live version with the old medley thrown in) :)
Queen - Headlong
ZZ Top - Doubleback
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven (bonus points if a patron is thrown out of the pub) :)
The thing I found curious about vinyl Jukeboxes was the B-Sides. Most of them really bad and played just to annoy. I remember once I put the B-Side of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life on ('I I bet you they wont play this song on the radio', followed by 'I'm So Worried'). The second of these two is exceptionally bad with a man singing about his lament and anguish for topics as diverse as the Baggage Retreival system they have at Heathrow (Link below).
Someone always used to play Journey - Don't Stop. Jukeboxes have always been a source of controversy as peoples choices always clash. You can see as certain tracks appear some are happy about it some are quietly gnashing their teeth in the corner.
When I was an uni the Page and Plant 'Unledded' album had just come out and a mate of mine used to put Kashmir (the 14 minute version) on repeat on the jukebox.
For a quid he could get 70 minutes of Plant wailing about elves, much to the annoyance of many other pub-goers (even Zep fans).
Yep I remember a guy attacking the jukebox and hitting it until it stopped due to the extended version of Led Zep when the "Remasters" stuff was put on there. So yep I truly sympathise.

Oh yeah.. I remember the B-Side to 'Hole In My Shoe' by Neil from 'The Young Ones' (Nigel Planer) being some dirge called 'Hurdy-Gurdy Mushroom Man'. I put in on in error in a pub when I was a kid and the landlord came over and pressed the reject button.

Ok so if you were given a jukebox, and were asked to pick a year and the Jukebox then only came Singles records from that year, what year would you choose?
I'd pick 1978, some good new wave, and yet still some good 70's stuff being made.
probably 1966... Beatles, Beach Boys, Kinks, The Who, Hendrix (just 'Hey Joe' from Hendrix in 66 but that's a goodun) ... NB: make sure all the Cilla Black 45s are destroyed with fire before it's installed :razz:

gotta be something pre 90s. maybe 83 or 84
too many manufactured bands and crap 1 hit wonders in the 90's
not that i dont like music from that period, just not the number 1's
EDIT - ooooppps i misread the question, its not numbers 1's
I'd play Bat Out of Hell as it seemed to offer good value for money. Or Fisherman's Blues. Most of my choices elicited groans from somewhere.
But I was forever being caught out, entering my selections, only for the jukebox to start playing something really hideous like Rick Astley that the previous person had selected - that put me off going near the jukebox too often.
Ok so the WOS Hypothetical Jukebox is now at 32 songs. I've added three more suggestions myself (31-33) and included songs I dont like just because they are Jukeboxy. I hate perfect 10, its so annoying. Bat out of Hell has never interested me, I don't dislike it but just find it boring.
If we get to 100 Tracks, we will have enough for a 200 selection Jukebox (100 Records 200 tracks a/b).

It's a good call.

In fact - here it is..
The B-side to My White Bicycle was hilarious!
I'd pick 1978, some good new wave, and yet still some good 70's stuff being made.
Good call but I think I'd trump that with 1980;
A quick look at the top 50 singles really shows there is something for everyone:-

EDIT - ooooppps i misread the question, its not numbers 1's
prolly something mid 90s then
