High energy dance music recommendations?

Congratulations to you Steve! 50lbs is a pretty significant achievement. Music to move by is a pretty subjective and wide open category. Perhaps if you let us know a few things you've heard that make you want to move around the room others can base their recommendations from your own taste rather than imposing theirs on you. At the risk of doing just that, I can name two Blues artists on the Fat Possum label do it for me, believe it or not. R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. Some stuff by 16 Horsepower also. I'd take those suggestions with a 5lb bag of salt as these are definitely not uplifting artists by any means. I'm not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination, but that music does make me want to move. A bit more on the up-side: David Byrne and Talking Heads. Insturmental music...anything by Astor Piazzolla.

I'm betting I'm a weird bird where this is concerned. Someone who actually loves to dance will have a wider selection no doubt.

Jamiroquai, Everything But The Girl, and MANY dance compilations....

James Asher's Feet in the Soil. His other discs (Kali Thunder and more) are great for dancing too but this is still my favourite.

Well, I think it depends on what you mean by "dancing"!! For me, every time I put on either "God Fodder" or "Are You Normal?" by Ned's Atomic Dustbin, I get out of my seat and jump up and down like a spastic monkey!

Does that count?!!

I love Ned's Atomic Dustbin, but it's not for everyone......

Enjoy,

Gee - I like Spike Milligan, but I can't say he ever got my toes tapping . . .
