Nope! Let's see...the Beatles, Syd Barrett, other 60s psychedelic and pop stuff in the late 70s..punk, ska, and new wave (Specials, Costello, Devo, XTC, etc.) in the early 80s...REM, Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc. in the mid-to-late 80s...then New Order, Charlatans (progressively getting more dancey!), and finally raves in late 1992. Heavy dollops of ambient music, from early Pink Floyd to PiL (yes, ambient--especially some things on _The Flowers of Romance_, and the great b-side "Home is Where the Heart Is"), Terry Riley, etc. etc. Because of this thread, I've had to actually think about this, but dancing has always been a key element, and I've always highly valued that nebulous but critical factor of "intelligence"...from the English Beat to Orbital...gotta have some brain food... I also like this thread. I'm learning about groups whose names I've seen, but never really knew. Best, stu 8) (again, I'm guilty--someone has to be square so somebody else can be hip!)
