200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time

First time I've been impressed by RS in years. Very Good selection, wide ranging, and the article is well designed with links to all the songs.

It’s a pretty respectable list. I’m shocked given how much RS caters to stan audiences on Twitter. I was expecting Gaga’s “Just Dance” or Taylor Swift’s “Message in a Bottle” to be #1.

The list is immediately not valid when 'Last Dance' by Donna Summer is #200. Should be much, much higher on the list.

Did you get to #1 R3?

R4. Yes, I did. Donna Summer's 'Last Dance' (#200) and 'I Feel Love' (#1) should trade places

Madonna's "Into the Groove" is #91. Glad it's on the list, but it should be in the top 10.

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle should be on the list.

Laura Branigan - "Gloria" isn't even on the list and should be in the Top Ten.

Blondie - Heart Of Glass isn't on the list but deserves to be in the top 100.

Diana Ross - The Boss

Not on the list but deserves to be in the Top Three.

I thought it was a pretty fair and balanced list for once from Rolling Stone.

The list is from 2022. It's a very well-rounded list considering it covers quite a large chunk of time.

Cher - Believe

Not on the list. Should be in the Top 20.

New Order Blue Monday is in the right place.

I was actually surprised Madonna made the list 3 times.

I wouldn't say Heart of Glass is a dance song R9. They were brilliant but they were pop/rock.

Tina Turner is more rock but deserves a place on the list with her very danceable, 'The Best.'

Oh, bullshit, R14.

Blondie and the Clash created dance-rock.

Kind of kitschy, but ABBA and 'Dancing Queen' deserves a spot on the list

Black Box's Everybody Everybody picked over Ride On Time, one of the biggest hits in Europe of 1989?

Chic deserved to be the top 5, but not Good Times. All the Chic-related choices are so lazy.

The fact that Le Freak is down in the 80s is nuts—it sold seven million copies, went to #1 three separate times, and presaged Good Times, hip-hop, Bowie's Let's Dance. It's the Chic track that led to everything.

Come on, Cyndi Lauper isn't even on the list but deserves a spot in the Top 20

"Girls Just Want To Have Fun"

Add Boy George to the list: Karma Chameleon

"I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston

Sheena Easton - Strut

Irene Cara - Fame

Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca

The journalists picking the list of clearly gone for more obscure Techno dance, Electro dance, soul dance, disco over out and out pop dance classics.

"All time"??? Are they really sure none of those flute and lute combos from the 1450s aren't better?

All kidding aside, 100 years ago the Charleston and it's song were all the rage. 100 years later most people recognize the song and know about the dance. I'd say it belongs on the list. Same with 'Let's do the Twist' (60 years ago)

They didn't include Turkey Lurkey TIme?

^ was The Twist on the list?

the RS piece is ONLY AN OPINION by that writer.

“Don’t Leave Me This Way” should be #2, not left at #121.

3. YMCA

2. Agadoo

1, Macarena

R31, totally agree.

Where is "Disco Duck"?

"Who Let the Dogs Out"?

"Kung Fu Fighting"?

THIS LIST IS BULLSHIT!!!!

YMCA is on the list R32. I think Agadoo is too. The Macarena isn't.

How about this?

ERIC PRIDS?

What the flowerstan gays of a. certain age haven't picked up about the RS list is that it is not a list of greatest "Dance Hits" of 40 years of gay bars and discos in Indianapolis and Omaha. The list is reasonably "clubby". I think there is a large percentage of people who have never set foot in a real night club spinning the progressive dance music of the moment.

Pump Up the Volume should be tied for 7th!

I think part of the reason some of the songs don't make the list is that their definition of "dance song" is nebulous.

To me, "dance song" is something you'd hear at a Sunday Tea, rather than Saturday night at a club.

Songs like Wonderwall, Let Me Love You Tonight, Forever Young (remix), Come Rain Come Shine, or Sky High
