Top dance track from the 80's and 90's

LexiLexi LondonPosts: 3,000MI6 Agent
A friend of mine is having a 40th birthday at the end of the month, and she has asked us to name a track we want to have played from the 80's & 90's.

For the 80's I chose Duran Duran - Rio.

For the 90's it would have to be Madonna and Vogue.

So what would your dance tracks be?

    Crickey ! Couldn't you pick an easier question..?...like the theory of Quantum Physics !

    The 80's is jam-packed with great tunes....the 90's less so....

    I'll pick two now but I'll change my mind in 5 minutes :))

    80's - Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes- Video Version

    90's - Robbie Williams = Millennium

    Totally agree ...

    Here's mine ...

    !980's ..... 'You Spin Me Round' - Dead or Alive
    'Tainted Love' - Soft Cell ( I know, thats two but couldn't choose ;% )

    !990's .... 'Baby One More Time' - Britney



    ( Random fact time. I used to go to the record shop in Liverpool where Pete Burns worked and he frightened the life out of me. He's very tall, had big hair and used to wear black contact lenses :o Very scary when you're 15 /16 .... )

    "Tainted Love" would have been my first choice for the 80s, with the runner-up being a tie between two New Order songs, "Blue Monday" and "True Faith."

    Just to throw something different into the mix, I was something of an Old School goth, and the two most popular dance songs at goth clubs were "Temple of Love" by Sisters of Mercy and "Go!" by Tones on Tail.

    Which leads into "Go" by Moby, my choice for 90s dance tune.

    Dirty Cash - dunno who did it.

    That song Take Me Dancing Naked in the Rain, or Groovy Train, all these are early 90s.

    Love Shack, B52s. Kylie's Better the Devil You Know or some such thing.

    Not sure if all these tracks are danceable to, Two Tribes for instance. Happy Monday's Step On should be alright though, that kind of stuff. Jive Bunny, anyone?

    NP - Two Tribes is danceable....listen to the beat man :))

    I saw Frankie.... live back in the 80's....I vividly remember looking around the venue when they played this....all the aisles were full of people - very few in their seats (or even in the rows) - and ALL were dancing....mind you, that may have had something to do with what people had had before the gig ;) :))
