Written By: velvetoneo on 06/16/06 at 11:06 pm
1980-1982: Dance music despised widely due to the disco backlash.
1983-1986: Dance music is revived through dance-pop like Duran Duran, ABC, Madonna, and Prince, the revival being started by MJ and Madonna.
1986-1990: More evolved/overproduced dance-pop like Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Jody Watley; beginnings of the rise of house music; popularity of Depeche Mode and New Order.
