July 17, 20177 yr I would have favourites for each decade tbh 80s - Trans X - Living On Video (I think this counts as an early dance track) - Farley "Jackmaster" Funk - Love Can't Turn Around 90s - Londonbeat - Thinking About You (love this song but does this count as dance?) - Olive - You're Not Alone - Felix - Don't You Want Me (one of the first big progressive house bangers) 00s - Watchin - Freemasons ft Amanda Wilson - Cry - System F - Flip and Fill ft Kelly Llorenna - Tree Love Never Dies - Lange ft Skye - Drifting Away 10s - Swedish House Mafia - Miami 2 Ibiza (just for the euphoric drop) - Example and Laidback Luke - Natural Disaster - Nadia Ali - Rapture (Avicii remix) My favourite dance track changes over time At the minute I would say it was Cry by System F w9uYlKYlZbM Edited July 17, 20177 yr by Hissmeister

July 17, 20177 yr Probably one of these few, they're the ones I immediately thought of but it is hard to pinpoint an exact fave of a genre sometimes so I probably missed something out :lol: Azealia Banks - 212 Cascada - Everytime We Touch Cascada - Evacuate The Dancefloor Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This Donna Summer - I Feel Love Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk If I had to pick one I think it would be either Dirty Talk or I Feel Love. The former is an out and out banger, and the latter s just totally seminal, we'd have none of the above without it.
July 17, 20177 yr Here's probably my top two dance songs at the moment I know I posted this recently on the early dance music thread, but my favourite dance song prior to house coming in the late '80s would be this one made in 1982 and reaching top 10 in 1985. With its big sound in the drop, I would consider this the first dance 'banger' to make the charts with quite hard synths, almost a precursor to eurodance. The transitions and buildups in the song I think are also very advanced. Sounds amazingly advanced to have been made in 1982! b9xBAtCsCTQ This one from 2002 is amazing I think, the combination of the great vocal (reminding me that vocals are definitely not as good in chart dance at the minute) and the progressive house/trouse production make it one of my favourite dance tunes from the '00s. I wish more of this sort of thing made the charts at the minute. rvINxecEEpQ Edited July 18, 20177 yr by Hissmeister
July 17, 20177 yr Brilliant question! The ones that spring to mind are... - Joe Stone - The Party (feat. Montell Jordan) - Chase & Status - Lost And Not Found (feat. Louis M^ttrs) - Kygo - Firestone (feat. Conrad Sewell) - Avicii - Hey Brother - Michael Calfan - Treasured Soul - Avicii - Waiting For Love ...probably in that order. That top two won't ever be touched, I don't think. All six are absolutely incredible songs.

That top two won't ever be touched, I don't think. All six are absolutely incredible songs. I would say Lost and Not Found is definitely one of my favourites from this decade, I loved it when it came out, it was accidentally released as part of a Clubland album midweek iirc, so it didn't reach the chart peak it could have potentially done. Treasured Soul is good but I prefer Michael Calfan's Nobody Does it Better.
July 17, 20177 yr Oh man. These are just songs which instantly spring to mind - Safri Duo - Played-A-Live Olive - You're Not Alone Everything But The Girl - Missing (Todd Terry Remix) N-Trance - Set You Free DJ Sammy/Yanou/Do - Heaven Robert Miles - Children ATB - 9PM Sonique - It Feels So Good Rudimental/John Newman - Feel the Love Alex Gaudino - Destination Unknown XTM/DJ Chucky - Fly On The Wings Of Love Faithless - Insomnia Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You Daft Punk - Around The World Daft Punk - One More Time Room 5/Oliver Cheatham - Make Luv Cascada - Everytime We Touch Basshunter - Now You're Gone Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme Avicii - Levels Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On SNAP! - Rhythm Is A Dancer Love Inc. - You're A Superstar Strike - U Sure Do Culture Beat - Mr. Vain Livin' Joy - Dreamer Ian Van Dahl - Castles In The Sky Swedish House Mafia/John Martin - Don't You Worry Child SASH!/Stunt - Raindrops (Encore Une Fois) Ultrabeat - Pretty Green Eyes Eric Prydz - Call On Me Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone Alice Deejay - Back In My Life Darude - Sandstorm Dario G - Sunchyme Edited July 17, 20177 yr by jase.
July 24, 20177 yr Everytime we touch <3 It legit just came up on shuffle while I was posting this as well, such a fab song and an all time fave!! <3 I assume you are talking about the Cascada song. That one may be appearing on the 00s dance number 1s thread in the chart forum very very soon! Was a bit too hard dance for me back when it was released around mid 2006, but I really like it now! Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On Not sure if this is dance, but it isn't much less dancey than today's tropical house and dancehall tunes. Great tune, way better than most modern tropical pop/dance. Edited July 24, 20177 yr by Taking The Hiss
July 24, 20177 yr Another one of my favourite dance tracks is Let Me Be Your Fantasy by Baby D (and the 2000 Trick Or Treat UK garage remix is even better imo) FRUFW9sExQg And on the subject of UK garage, one of the most beautiful dance tracks is this one x6rvvEVJMgU The piano and Michelle Escoffery's vocal are lush! Edited July 24, 20177 yr by Taking The Hiss
July 24, 20177 yr Haven't heard that remix of Let Me Be Your Fantasy before! Liking it on first listen
July 26, 20177 yr For me, it's The Gangnam Style. I still can't move on to this million-viewer Youtube channel. :w00t:
July 26, 20177 yr For me, it's The Gangnam Style. I still can't move on to this million-viewer Youtube channel. :w00t: I suppose Gangnam Style will still be well known in about 50 years when a lot of other dance songs this decade will have been forgotten by many.
July 27, 20177 yr This absolute classic is my personal favourite dance track of all time. Just does it for me :wub: _UHo7Ig7ieQ
August 28, 20177 yr If I had to pick one I think it would be either Dirty Talk or I Feel Love. The former is an out and out banger, and the latter s just totally seminal, we'd have none of the above without it. While Dirty Talk is a brilliant tune, I prefer this one featuring Wynter Gordon to Dirty Talk. Her vocal is much less poppy on this one, and her vocal is more like the vocals on early 00s vocal trance songs. T-8c6IAneZI

Edited August 31, 20177 yr by jafetsigfinns
August 31, 20177 yr Uniting Nations - You and Me (2005) Yes! Very underrated that one (I like the way it sounds a bit like something Rick Astley may have released in the late 80s). Excellent tune , although it wouldn't quite make a list of my absolute favourite dance songs of all time. I remember hearing it a lot at the time as it was getting a lot of airplay as the follow up to 'Out Of Touch'. Excluded from Now 62 though sadly along with 'Love On My Mind' (by Freemasons + Amanda Wilson (#11 UK) ) and 'Jacques Your Body' (by Les Rythmes Digitales (#9 UK) ) :( . Edited August 31, 20177 yr by The Hissmobile
September 1, 20177 yr We Found Love - Rihanna feat Calvin Harris for me. Show Me Love - Robin S close second. Obviously there's more, I feel a playlist coming along, many good choices in this thread!
