NOTE: Dance music is not always your typical Disco/Electronic standards. Remember, dance can be swing, jazz, pop, rock, ragtime, minstrel, classical, country, etc. To be qualified for the dance music lists here, these artists must have a 4/4 danceable feel, be it quick-paced or slow paced (meaning contemporary songs have that 4/4 feel here) or otherwise a jam song that gets the floor moving. In the 80s, most of the pop songs were danceable, whereas in the 90s it is not. In the 80s, everyone jumped on the synth-electronic bandwagon after Kraftwerk (an experimental/kraut rock/electronic band) popularized it, thus crossing these pop acts into the dance realm.
