Ok now that alot of the new fuckers have gone and its cleared upa bit in here i will start threads again.



I was wondering what dance albums you guys regard as classic dance albums that will be on the shelves for many years to come or should be on the shelves.



Other than Chems albums cause we all know Surrender is a classic, what would you guys check out?



I would say......



Homework -Daft Punk

You've Come A Long Way Baby -Fatboyslim

Vertigo -Groove Armada

Leftism -Leftfield

The Middle of Nowhere -Orbital

The Fat of the Land -The Prodigy

Melody am -Royksopp

Beaucoup Fish -Underworld

I'm a new fucker, but I ain't going away ;-)



Anyway on to the topic.

I would say that out of your list I would regard at least three as classic, and different albums by two of your bands.



Leftism - Leftfield (this always tops my list)

Homework - Daft Punk

Snivilisation - Orbital

The Fat of the Land - The Prodigy

Dubnobasswithmyheadman - Underworld

Technique - New Order

Introspective - Pet Shop Boys



I know there are tons of memorable dance albums out there, but these are my favourite, and these actually have had an impact on me.

We're talking about 'classic' dance albums here.



Blue Album will never be a classic and I very much doubt if Fluke's Puppy album will become one (although it should become a classic as it's the best and most mature Fluke album yet!).
