    What about Janet Jackson? This is a really good dance track, used to dance to it in the clubs back in the late 80's - early 90's: Janet Jackson - Alright (with some help from Heavy D) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF0Gi_xKY58

    Now I'm feeling my age. I have heard of TLC, Salt and Pepper, Janet Jackson and MC Hammer. Never heard of the others.

    There are a few rap songs I like. There was a popular line dance with this song. Wild Wild West.

    I like "Wild Wild West" by Kool Moe Dee better :)
