Rock cuts that crossed over to dance music.

[MusicFilter]

In the spirit of what RichieRich brought up, what were some of the best rock cuts that made it on to your play list?

Mine's were

Either by group, song or both...

The Police - When the world is...
Voices inside my head

The Clash - Radio Clash & Magnificent Seven

Talking heads - I can't remember the names of some of the cuts (so help me out)

Genius of love- I forgot that one too

Hall & Oates - I can't go for that

If you think of some add to the list, I'm sure I'm forgetting some major cuts.

Peace. graemlins/acclaim.gif

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT...NIRVANA

Peace. graemlins/acclaim.gif I thought you said Rock..those are just white bands. Don't insult Rock.. :D

[selecta]

Would Boz Scaggs "Lowdown" be considered a Rock song? Most of their material definitely fit in that genre.

[dj c-los]

Genesis or Phil Collin's - Pseusodious

How do you spell that?

[BHouse]

Black Betty... Artist????

When I think of cross-over *rock* cuts...Rolling Stones "Emotional Rescue" comes to mind...or "Black Betty" by Ram Jam (which I never really liked)...

[BHouse]

Thats right.... graemlins/thumbsup.gif

[Martin Red]

Steve Miller band - fly like an eagle

[DJ RON C]

These are all rock songs. The Boz Scaggs is light rock and the other groups mentioned were considered "alternative rock" when they came out. graemlins/cool_shades.gif

What Rock cut did Hall & Oates do??? Please don't say Adult Education...let Hall & Oates play at a Rock festival and see what happens.. They tried it with Jamiroquai and they got booed off the stage... But what do I know I've only been a Rock n Roller since 1970. It's all about your own interpretation anyways but The Stones are not a Disco group because they put out a disco record..right?? Hall & Oates = Rock..bwahahahahahaha!!

Hello John,

I recently picked the Romantics record up peace to Special Agent ;) . Was this a big crossover track in the clubs or radio ?. This ais an highly addictive record that seems to just haunt mine and a few others memory banks ?.

Peace and hope all is well with you.

Alex. ;) Hi Alex.

"Talking in Your Sleep" got lots of play as a pop tune on the radio, but it's club usage was minimal from my experience.
