Your best dance albums?
With 'the grammy's' finally recognising dance music as its own respectable genre this year rather than just remixes of pop songs… What are your top 5 favourite dance albums of all time?
I love Dance music around this time of year …. its the party affect I think... |

The grammys have always recognised dance music that hasn't just been remixes, so i don't see your point. They did change the eligibilty for it though in who can be nominated. You have to primarily be a dance artist like Robyn, Goldfrapp etc, not a popstar whose occasional track is dance like Rihanna etc.

The grammys the past decade have recognised the Dance/Electronica genre of music for albums and songs/recordings.
what annoys me is that rule of artists in Pop music or R&B cannot be nominated for Dance/Electronica either which is ashame because if the uality of music is way up there why not nominate the material? Anyways my top Dance music albums for me have to be... Madonna - Confessions on a Dance Floor goldfrapp - Black Trilogy Daft Punk - Random Access Memories Robyn - Body Talk Trilogy Cut COpy - In ghost COlours |

The reason they changed the rules was because in the past it used to be mainly dance artists doing dance music, but during 2006-2011 time all the R&B singers started doing dance music, then all the pop singers joined in, and they were over-shadowing and stealing the spotlight from the actual dance artists.
David Guetta and Calvin Harris were the only ones who really managed to stay in the spotlight during this time period, but they had to keep collaborating with R&B singers and rappers to stay noticed. In 2013, most of the R&B singers have stopped doing dance music, and it's gone back to being mainly actual dance artists that have the dance hits, but I doubt they'll change the rules back now. |

dance as a genre has always been recognised but not necessarily as a purist … it should be a mix of the two i guess… but nominations generally favoured artists who weren't primarily dance who did dance as an extra/addition…. meaning that classic dance albums and artists and recordings were overlooked by mainstream artists who were not really dance recording artists. |

Discovery by Daft Punk still is one of the greatest. Better than RAM.
