Shaky: Rolling Stone readers survey of best "dance" songs
Posted by Eric Snider on Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 1:32 PM
As if I needed another reminder of the rapid graying of baby boomers ... Rolling Stone polled its readers, asking them to name their favorite "dance" songs (on the occasion of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" continuing run at the top of the singles chart).
The results were rather grim, another reminder of the growing creakiness of the mag's readership. No knock on RS; it at least tries to be hip and contemporary. But by the looks of this list, they're not accumulating much of a youth readership.
Not until No. 8 — Justice's “D.A.N.C.E.” — do we get to an actual dance song. Without doing the math, all but a handful of the 15 reader selections were more than 20, 30, even 40 years old.
Most readers went with a song that had "dance" in the title —numbers by Abba, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, The Beatles and Tom Petty made the survey.
The winner: Elton John's "Tiny Dancer."
Y'see gang, back in the olden days we had his thing called a "slow dance."
Here's the complete list.

I think this is a great post. One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.
