Not really a list, but one of my non dance fave's is Stevie Wonder's 'Supersticious' - well funky groove in it, Id say its one of the funkiest riffs ever made. period.
Infact, that harmonica playing on that eurithmics track get the old hairs up somehow as well (also played by the main man stevie). Hes one reaally funky guy. Mind you, that 'I just called' track was a bit w*ank though......

Ill think of some more later (must admit theres not many as Im a very devoted dance music fan and pop w*ank/mush doesnt do anything for me most of the time).

Cheers,


Sirius.

Oh yeah,:

Jesus Jones - International Bright Young Thing
Candy Flip - Strawberry Fields Forever
The Laa's - There She Goes (no, really)
Vangelis - Bladerunner theme tune.
