Has anyone ever danced to New Order? Really? I know i've never have. I've jumped up and down and pushed and shoved in the moshpit at the gigs but never danced in a club to them, even BM.The last song i remember really getting into the groove to in a nightclub was Hey Ya by Outkast. One funky tune that mother.New Order are rock/electronic head music that is great to jump around to at the gigs.

And The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up' at number 3? I demand a recount

Yes Sir I can Boogie

Danced all summer long in 83 to Blue monday , including Ibiza,,

Now I stand here

if they put BM, why they didn't put BLT?

It was voted for by the public readers etc. Although I love my NewOrder Insomnia by Faithless got my vote.

Yep I've definitely danced to BM, more than once. Off the top of my head Erol Alkan is the biggest 'name' dj I've witnessed playing it. I also once found myself dancing to Regret as the "one more tune" at the end of a dj set. Not even a remix, just the standard version.

Maybe that's why, on the rare occasions that I get to see NO (or Hooky recently) doing BM live, I'm naively surprised that people are jumping up and down when I expect them to dance.

I went to a madchester/manchester themed DJ event in Tokyo, back in 2009. The Japanese DJ Sugiurumn dropped 'World In Motion' and there were people dancing. At the same event, Mani did some DJing and he dropped 'Regret'. It was so crowded so you couldn't dance freely, but there were people moving about. I didn't see people jump or push or shove. Then again, maybe in Japan we dance to New Order, not jump to New Order.

right band ...daft punk but the songs are the wrong way round....around the world should be joint no 1 with lipps inc ...funky town

The hardfloor remix at Fabrics in London was ace I definately danced to it then. One of my favourite records in a favourite club also Darren Ermerson played a remix at a concert I went to and I got him to play it again at a club I was in on my Birthday so yes Ive certainly danced to Blue Monday

BLT, True Faith = dancing

1994, turned 18 and began my 5-6 year regular attendance of an 80s club in Atlanta, GA USA. Not a lot of risk in the song choices (in hindsight), but it was fun.

I've only jumped up and down once, at a Cypress Hill concert.

Is that Mixmag list really the greatest dance tracks of all time?

Or the greatest dance tracks that the man in the street will also have heard?

Bit middle of the road, innit. Each one seems to be a chart hit?

Nice to see no one's forgotten about Daft Punk though.

Energy 52 should've been way higher, mind, and the Deadmau5 entry should have been Strobe, and not that dreadful thing with vocals.

i've danced to new order many times, i'm amazed that's even up for debate. most recently BLT at 'feeling gloomy' on a packed dancefloor. the last time i remember dancing to BM was at a school disco, though.

No 808 State, would've expected a light dusting of them in there.

Did you know there's a fire in your living room?

:)

Blue Monday is highly danceable.

The list is pretty middle of the road... Very lacking in Rave stuff for example.

One More Time best ever dance track= Nonsense.

Red Light Spells Danger is better to dance to than Blue Monday. Word.

This is what the Mixmag 'greatest dance tracks of all time' looked like just over 11 years ago.

Linky thing

Same tracks, different order. With Blue Monday previously at no.8

And I said above that Energy 52 should be way higher! It was once.

beachball, their law, the prophet, romeo, where's your head, at a tonne of orbital stuff, sundance ,flowtation, clear, mr kirk, 187 lockdown stuff, unfinished sympathy, joanna, the prophet, love can't turn around, sweet harmony, charly said, injected with a poison... I could go on and on... there's waay too much missing!
