, a song had to be part of “dance music culture.” It’s a more specific world, but an enormous one too, going back nearly fifty years and eternally evolving right up to today and into the future.
After paying homage to the godfather of the extended groove, Mr. James Brown, our story of dance music begins in the mid-1970s with disco, and moves into early Eighties club sounds like electro and Latin freestyle.
The list doesn’t attempt to incorporate every ripple in this oceanic confluence of sub-genres. We were looking for tracks that seemed to transcend and feel more universally canonical, and we were especially mindful of the moments where dance music has intersected with the wider musical world– with synth-pop, hip-hop, funk, Miami bass, R&B, indie-rock, Latin music and pop.
If you’re wondering how we got to a summer where Drake and Beyonce are suddenly releasing house records, this is that story — or, at least, our version of it.

Thank you! Thank you Rolling Stone..for leaving this fabulous list open for all viewers....and I'm thrilled that Donna Summers 'I Feel Love' topped it...oh my, the memories of that glorious song and her heavenly voice and many dance floors...❤❤❤
agree LGSrock101 con la número uno de la lista tocayo ? yo creo que lo es.
Wenner is a egomanic, what gives him the right to personally decide who gets in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ?
How were these tracks picked? Too many are undanceable, and too many are obscure and probably only liked by very few. I know it's possible to find a list of 200 more popular dance songs than this..
Kylie obviously on the list
No Sandstorm?
Kylie Minogue and Madonna ❤️
Spoiler: Monster Mash comes in at 6
why isnt this a spotify playlist
