dragostea din tei IS a good song. would it have got to number one all over europe if it was ****e???

eh, yes. That does tend to happen a lot.

mentalimplosion

i know there's a lot of ****e in the charts but seriously, just because you don't happen to like a song doesnt mean that it's pure rubbish and nobody should listen to it and it doesn't deserve to be bought. your taste in music is not the be-all-and-end-all of it, mmk? :rolleyes:

Just to surprise everyone, I like dance music. Anyone know the propellerheads? Probably not... they really rock. As in dance.

Proppellerheads are mad, they did the tune for the Matrix. Pure mash....

Thank you. That's what I think dance should be.
Dragostea Din Tei? Is that what I think it is?... you odd people...

I'm not that much of a dance fan. The only reason I'm posting is to oppose Virgin Records' placing Sigur Rós and Four Tet records under the "Dance" category. If there were a "hanging head in shame" smilie, this would be the place for it.

It's not really dat gud.It gets crowd going when played very loud but it's not really something you'd just listen to on ur todd

Yep, thats true. But in fairness, get enough alcohol in anyone and anything sounds good coming out of the speakers... That tends to be why you often get crap music at certain pubs, they just couldn't be bothered hiring a decent dj with up to the minute mix's

Good song: Rock your Body Rock- Ferry Corstern

Has anyone heard of a song called Schumacher? It's meant to be the worst dance song ever released! Ever!

Jurgen Vries - The Theme

Joycey

Ok this is meant to educate all who read it. It is not a flame at anyone just guidance. What most of you think dance music is, is actually the most commercial kind of all. The genre that most people call dance music is actually called "EDM" which stands for electronic dance music. The main branches of EDM are - House, Trance, Techno, Hardcore, Drum + bass and breaks (i think).

House - Tends to be kinda funky and slower.
Trance - Tends to be faster then house and often really uplifting. I cant explain it any better then that.
Techno - Focuses on the beat where trance focusses on the melody. Often way harder then trance.
Hardcore - The chances of anyone liking this here are slim to none. It is extremely hard. All the stereotypes that you have with dance music about it being too much like "bang bang bang bang bang" are shown here. It is only for people who are well into their music. I can barely listen to this. This is the equivalent to commercial stuff as blink182 are to the very hardest deathmetal.
Drum + Bass, Breaks - I know nothing about really except for being able to recognize it.

Here is the link to a far more comprehensive guide then mine http://www.ishkur.com/music/#
No need to download anything just click the link and follow whatever road you like. If you just wanna hear what i like then go to trance and look around the bottom and left of the screen at what he says is the "commercial" stuff but isnt really .

What he writes about each kind of genre is a... unique... opinion so dont go by pretty much anything he writes, especially about trance. Listen to his samples to hear what each genre sounds like.

Sorry if this is badly written. Thanks for reading :eek:

Jurgen vries - the theme is a completely commerical trance track. Its the same as every other commerical trance track in that it has 4/4 beats, a brass melody throughout the whole song and a piano bit thrown in for good measure. Its extremely repeatitive and not in any way new/good/worth talking about this much.

*grumbles under breat about the theme being quite good even if noone believs it...*
