Best 90's Dance Hit
Technological advancements, European influences, and a deep societal need to shake that ass created the perfect breeding ground for the explosion of dance music in the 1990s. From dance club floors to wedding receptions, dance music was everywhere at the end of the 20th Century, with some of the biggest hits even crossing over into mainstream radio. Now, 30-plus years later, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to put its hands up and determine the Best 90s Dance Hit of all time. Songs discussed include I’ve Got the Power by SNAP!; Gonna Make You Sweat by C+C Music Factory; Be My Lover by La Bouche; Boom Boom Boom Boom by Vengaboys; Rhythm Of the Night by Corona; Around the World by Daft Punk; 100% Pure Love by Crystal Waters; and more.
Join host Eric Rezsnyak, Patreon sponsor Derek Mekita, and special guests Dr. Ryan Androsiglio and Sandie Cianflone as they discuss 16 of the funkiest jams from the end of the 20th Century.
