Answer 1

Well, it all depends on what type of swing you like! Are you looking for something high energy sound (like Jump Jive n' Wail)? Are you looking for Fast Tempos (like Jumpin at the Woodside)? Are you looking for Neo-Swing (like Zoot Suit Riot)?

Most people are looking for more "Neo-Swing", which has a lot higher energy stuff compared to traditional big band/jazz music. Here's a list of some songs you might like, although you should look up more songs by the artists:

(Band Name - Song Title)

Neo Swing:

Atomic Fireballs - Man with a Hex
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Big Time Opperator
Big Six - We The Boys Will Rock Ya!
Brian Setzer - Jump Jive and Wail
Buster Poindexter - Wadaya Want?
Casey McGill - Rhythm
Cherry Poppin Daddies - Brown Derby Jump
Flying Neutrinos - Mr. Zoot Suit
Jive Aces - Planet Jive
Lavay Smith - And the Tears Flowed Like Wine
Lee Press on and the Nails - Caldonia
Phat Cat Swinger - Phat Cat Swinger
Red Prysock - Hand Clappin
Royal Crown Revue - Hey Pachuco!
Stray Cats - Rock This Town
Steve Lucky - Jumptown
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Put a Lid on It (more Charleston, but fun)

Now if you like some of this stuff, you should look into some of the classic jump blues artists and later swing, that really inspired some of the Neo-Swing Sound (like Louis Prima who wrote Jump Jive and Wail) Here are some more suggestions:

Jump Blues & Later Swing:

Bette Midler - Stuff Like That There
Big Sandy - Have Love, Will Travel
Bill Haley - Burn That Candle
Colin James - Safronia B
Julia Lee - Last Call for Alcohol
Louis Jordan - Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens
Louis Prima - 5 Months, 2 Weeks, 2 Days
Peggy Lee - Fever (slower, but an essential swing song)
Wynonie Haris - Big Ten Inch

Now, you may prefer a lot of this "high energy" sound, but it's always good to come back to the origins of swing and listen to Big Band Music. I don't consider most big band to be high energy because 1) Big Band is always better live and doesn't record well and 2) a lot of the best song were recorded in the 30's and 40's when recording technology wasn't as strong as it is today. Never the less, here are some "Must Have" big band songs:

Big Band Songs:

Andrews Sisters - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
Artie Shaw - Traffic Jam
Artie Shaw - The Man From Mars
Benny Goodman - Sing, Sing, Sing
Benny Goodman - Swingtime in the Rockies
Bill Elliott - Bills Bounce
Bill Elliott - Camp Hollywood Special
Chick Webb - Lindy Hopper's Delight
Count Basie - Jumping' at the Woodside
Count Basie - Swingin the Blues
Duke Ellington - Rockin' in Rhythm
Fletcher Henderson - Christopher Columbus
Gene Krupa - Drum Boogie
Glenn Miller - Bugle Call Rag
Glenn Miller - Jeep Jockey Jump
Ella Fitzgerald - Too Darn Hot
Lionel Hampton - Flying Home
Slim Gailard & Slam Stewart - Palm Springs Jump
Tommy Dorsey - One O'Clock Jump
Tommy Dorsey - Well, Git It!

Hope That Helps!
Happy Dancing.
