    I've never heard a "Dance" track with decent lyrics. I dont mind electronic music really, some of it is quite good, but only if it doesn't have lyrics.

    Also like electronic music mixed with metal, such as Rammstein or Ayreon.

    Two excellent songs with great lyrics off the top of my head.

    Big deal about lyrics anyway, same in death metal were you cant hear what they are saying but nobody cares because its there to compliment the music.

    They have decent lyrics, better than most stuff you hear. Part of the problem for me is the lack of passion in the singing itself, just seems as if they are singing for the sake of it, as opposed to actually caring about the music.

    I'm sure I'm both generalising and being over romantic, and I agree about what you say about lyrics complimenting the music. At the end of the day, to each his own etc etc

    True. Daft punk live turned my musical tastes on a new tangent altogether. The lyrics dont matter (around the world around the wo-rld) but there is some electronic songs with classic lyrics

    I used to listen to a lot of dance music in my teens. These days i dont listen to much of it, and any dance music i listen to would normally be older stuff

    "Dance" music to me is boy-racer music, music to test their ****ty little sound systems in their ****tly little souped up toyota starlets...its the music you hear, or maybe try NOT to hear, in nightclubs, chipmunk music. It reminds me of those god-awful 90s which wouldve been forgotten altogether if it werent for Nirvana, Oasis, The Verve, Radiohead etc.....As someone said in an earlier post, the term dance music doesnt really apply anymore, its broken off into so many tangents

    Electronic music is what I refer to it as. For me it starts with Kraftwerk (who I grew up believing were actually robots), New Order, Depeche Mode and a whole plethora of artists who have taken inspiration from them right up to Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and even groups like The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem who merge rock with electronic beats. So to sum up,electronic I love, dance is a big no-no
