Disco? Just funk music with a steadier beat.

All I can say right now is that there was no shortage of people who claimed, back in the day, that rock 'n' roll was nothing more than sped-up R&B...

Some posts already but better late than never. Hello! :o

Indeed! :o But hey, doesn't the subtitle of this thread have the words "lies" and "slander" in it? ;)

Well, let's just say it all functions just like the American hip-hop crews. It's both the crew's name and, automatically, the label for which they release their mixtapes and, in short, all their street level/underground material. As for Jammer, as far as I know, he only has his hands on Boy...

WHAT IS THIS?!

Well, Roni Size may not have the mainstream acclaim he once had, but he kept his undergound cred (and, more importantly, fans) more or less intact through the years, and he still has quite a steady profile (and job offers) as a DJ. Not to mention V Recordings has been unleashing some of the...

Well, let's see. 1992 - Primal Scream 1993 - Suede 1994 - M-People 1995 - Portishead 1996 - Pulp 1997 - Roni Size/Reprazent 1998 - Gomez 1999 - Talvin Singh 2000 - Badly Drawn Boy 2001 - PJ Harvey 2002 - Ms. Dynamite 2003 - Dizzee Rascal 2004 - Franz Ferdinand 2005 - Antony & The Jonhnsons The...

Hey, sorry for having my own opinion...

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not I like it, and I won't be too shocked if it wins. Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Ballad Of The Broken Seas The words "Isobel" and "Campbell" are enough to avoid listening to it. Editors - The Back Room Dear God! :confused...

Well, from what I've read, I think he meant the single not only in a physical way, but also as a separate identity. What I think he is implying is what most other people have been already implying for some time: we're on the brink of the Age of the Self-Serviced Compilation Album.

It's not a Best Dance Albums Ever list, it's a Most Influential Dance Albums Ever list. I just thought it was important to point it out.

Personally, if there is an album here which might be an origin for Faithless it's rather the Sasha/Diggers mix-CD than anything else. Sure Leftfield were a product of all that Guerilla, B12, Hard Hands, etc. environment (as bassnation already stated so rightfully before). But to be sure, if...

I finally got hold of the DJmag issue with this list. They're the first ones to admit, in the intro, that dance music was always more about the 12" than the album. But there is a detail there which kind of gives me food for thought: the records were chosen by "DJ's, artists, producers and other...

I can't believe I actually have the patience to go through this. But here we go! 1. Leftfield – Leftism Sold a lot of copies, "Open Up" and "Song Of Life", at least, are bonafide dance music classics (and please don't front on this), but influential?! Puh-leaze!!! 2. Daft Punk – Homework No...
