Line 67:
** Jackson 5. "Dancing Machine." The Paul Oakenfold remix. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IgkBimG7M EPIC WIN.]
* [[Eurythmics]], "Sweet Dreams".
** [[Shout
** Their cover of Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love" is simply astounding.
** "Winter Wonderland". In some weird way, it perfectly captures the feeling of Christmas- arguably even more so than its predecessors. Which is not an easy job, considering the synthesizers.
Line 133:
* [[Take That (Music)|Take That]] (the band, not the trope). "Never Forget" and "Love Love" to name but two.
** Oh, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KII1ruAfvsg "Rule the World"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=273eSvOwpKk&feature=related "Patience"]. Goosebumps, every time. But all of it, really, especially [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPWJ3r2CBOU live].
* Bon Iver's cover of Peter Gabriel's "Come Talk to Me." Wow. Just... Wow. Though everything he does is [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]].
* [[Jennifer Lopez]]. It's almost impossible to resist dancing to songs like "On The Floor", "I'm Into You", "Love Don't Cost A Thing", "Papi", "Do It Well", "Jenny From The Block", and "Let's Get Loud".
* Swedish all-girl group Play has some great songs, like "Famous", "Under My Skin", and, of course, "Us Against The World".
Line 147:
* [[My Bloody Valentine (Music)|My Bloody Valentine]]. In particular, their second album, ''Loveless''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chaYm2TqfHM "To Here Knows When"] is without question one of the most ethereal songs ever recorded.
* When thinking of Awesome Music, Disco isn't the first thing that comes to mind, is it? Well, that may be due to never hearing The Whispers play "One For The Money."
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRsZ_PjPyVw "Karma Killer"] by Robbie Williams, is a spectacular, vicious [[Take That]] against... somebody. Possibly [[Take That (Music)|Take That]], which would be [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]].
* Aimee Ann '''Duffy''' has got some good ones so far, but by far her best is "Rain on Your Parade". If this woman is not doing a [[James Bond]] theme at some point in her career, it will be a great injustice.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtXQ31F1A-k "Sukiyaki"] by Kyu Sakamoto. (Its actual title is "Ue o muite arukou", but the American distributor changed it for [[As Long As It Sounds Foreign|whatever reason.]])
