agreed
billie jean is pop where as firestarter for example is pure dance
okay - it's getting a bit 'you say potayto/i say potahto' but from what you've posted as your top dance songs, your 'argument' would appear to be that 'music to dance to' was invented in, er, 1987 (leaving aside Blue Monday) and that Acid House was the zenith.
I'm not dissing your choices of tunes at all - they're all belters; but you might wanna take off the blinkers. It's not always about the beat - sometimes it's the groove! I'll grant you that Billy Jean or (the other one i'd have nominated) Superstition by Stevie Wonder aren't ones that'll have you throwing mad shapes on the floor - but listen to the rhythm underpinning the song. If you don't find an urge to cut a rug to it, check for a pulse!

Aw thanks, I was a bit worried when you said "shoegazy indie type thingy"!Bren_M.Records wrote: »Well the next ones looking like its gonna be a sort of shoegazy indie type thingy so I'll let you off the hook this time.
But you seem to like Madchester, would I be right in saying?
Well Bernard Sumner of New Order/Joy Division has the same view. So do I, I believe that dance music is music that makes you dance to a beat no matter the genre, not particularly electronic or anything like that.They obviously have a far looser definition of "Dance" than I have!
In 24HrPP Sumner reckoned the Monday's song "TART TART" was dance music as it was able to make you move to the guitar. Here is that song;

i was born in 1977 and i only became aware of music and everything else in 1987
for me , dance was born around 1987 or 88 and became the defining music genre of the nineties only to be replaced by hip hop in the noughties0
