I love French Kiss! People like to giggle about Technotronic, but they were one of the early ones to really popularize the genre; they were truly a house act. I'd also put Vogue in there, too. Let No Man Put Asunder is a classic, but yes, I dig that 90s house remix too. Robin S' Show Me Love is another goodie from that era.

Bless you for responding. This thread was going to cricketville but I knew someone around here knew these songs.

I also liked Lil'Louis & the World "Club Lonely" also Chantay Savage "Betcha never find another love like mine"

I'm sort of over house music now, but I used to love it. There was a period of time when I was going out damn near every week. I never drank; it was just to go dancing. Frankie Knuckles or David Morales is involved in almost all of those songs you mentioned. Makin' Happy is my fave cut from Crystal Waters. Others I liked

Everybody's Free - Rozalla
Dream Drums - Lectroluv
I'm Gonna Get You - Bizarre Inc
Fired Up - Funky Green Dogs
One More Try (Soundfactory Mix) - Kristine W
The Bomb - Bucketheads (overplayed but a classic that I can still listen to)
Ride on Time - Black Box

There's more, but those are off the top of my head. Ten City were great, but they might have been late 80s? Jason Nevins did a hot remix of Run DMC's It's Like That

Yeah, I was feeling a little nostalgic and was remembering the days... I used to looove House too but now... not so much

Makin' Happy was good. I remembering seeing her perform at come club.

That would be One by One and it's a good one! It jump started her career again. That remix sent her back in the direction of dance music.

JackieBlue said:

Nah, that was Ruffneck feat. Yavahn. Released in 1995.

When I was living in S.E. Michigan that used to get a lot of radio play on weekend sets.

I love the remix of the song. During that year, I had something called "Music Choice" which was a box plugged into the cable and it had 30 something commercial free stations....and one of them was called the "Dance" channel. I kept the box for three months (free trial ) and I was a cassette recording motherfucker those three months.

I love the drums in the intro of that song. They reminded me of people stomping on bleachers in a gym. Several house songs had those drums that year. One of them was an absolute JAM! I don't know who the group was but the song was done in Spanish and the main word in the chorus was "Canoramo" (I don't know if that's what is was saying, I just spelled out the way it sounded. )

Welcome To The Factory - Moraes

Divas To The Dancefloor - E.G. Fullalove

thats dajae singing...so technically you were right both times.

i had it on my list as dajae.

I have no idea what ANY of this music is but I will...

RipHer2Shreds said:

I love that whole Bucketheads album!

CinisterCee said:

"just plain funky" was my cut...this record was my introduction to the full scope of the genius of Masters at Work. Not quite Nuyorican Soul, but close.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I was just playing Bucketheads the other day!

There's another cut I like by B.Box called "I Don't Know Nobody Else" -- their tunes all tended to sound the same, tho.

Yeah, Nevins was HOT with that entire single.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Technotronic was NOT a house music act, at least not true Garage house music. They were an act that made a different kind of R&B pop music. Ask any true "house head" and he will tell you. They others that are on this list made more of a contribution to house music. If you really want to hear house music, try looking up Chicago based artists. People like, Mr. Fingers and Marshall Jefferson....You have included Frankie Knuckles on this list, which is great but, you need to go back and add many more. Some of the one's on your list, are commercial artist that have their records remixed to sound like house.

Instead of telling me what I should put on my list, how about making one of your own?

vainandy said:

Who remembers Cartouche? Very technotronic.
