Looking for dance music suggestions...

[SoGone]

I don't like the stuff with big whomping drums that drown everything else out. Ultra-aggressive or shouty vocals are iffy. Melodic (not just thumping) bass is good; long passages of nothing but bass 'n' drums are probably not good.

Basically, my ideal is the New Order/Pet Shop Boys sound (have I mentioned that I'm a NO/PSB fanboy?).

Any suggestions? Or is this the wrong place to ask?

All I can remember of dance music is The Shamen, The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Moby and *Happy Mondays

*well they were only kind of dance orientated!!! All the other stuff is just 'djs' right???!!! Go clubbing if u want to know more- i'm actually quite proud of the fact i've never been to a nightclub in my life!!!! Doesn't appeal to me at all - i'd rather stick to pubs and bars!!!!

[SoGone]

I've never been to a nightclub, and I'd be scared to. I love the Mondays, and Shamen's ok, but I can't say I like the other three...but thanks for the try!

why would u be scared??? In case of meeting me (even though I don't go to them) with the knowledge that i have been thrown out in the past for 'aggressive behaviour' lol??!!!

I wasn't kidding when I said that I'm ridiculously shy. I sometimes hide out in empty classrooms during my breaks at school, lest I have to face people in the commons.

Yes, I am serious. And stop calling me Shirley.

Take your hand? But you're a girl and I'm a boy...I'm a girl and you're a boy...and London is your town.

You're very sweet. If sugar was as sweet as you honey, sugar just couldn't be bought.*



*For the record, I hate Rockpile and Nick Lowe, but I know this song from the Dark Ages of my music listening experience.

Well I didn't understand ANY of those references but they all sounded very interesting!!!

And I think you'll find that the 'Shirley' joke is based on the word 'surely' not 'seriously'!!!!

[SoGone]

Yeah, it's based on "Shirley," but the word "serious" is also in it.


You aren't familiar with "Shelia Take A Bow" by the Smiths????????
