Rock and roll.

While that is strictly true, I do hope you've got your tongue firmly in your cheek. ;) There is so much more also. Cue fierce argument about what is and isn't rock and roll. :D

While I understand and respect your experience in these matters, you can hardly class a lot of those as 'dancey', can you?
