[AzureDreamer]

some non-classic tunes....

"Don't Cha" by the *****cat Dolls is an AWESOME West Coast Swing (and great for Cha Cha as well. I am a big fan of their remake of "Sway" as well. but then.... I think Britney's "Hit me one more time" is one of the best WCS of all time.)

I personally like "Gold Digger" by Kanye West for salsa. That tune is PHAT. (of course, I like "Sing it Back" by Moloko as salsa.)

 

[NielsenE]

I like most of the suggestions so far and its pretty good at covering the "classics" -- I'ld want to add
Tango
Tango D'amour
Golden Tango

Waltz
Moving On

the suggestion for Kiss From A Rose should be moved from Waltz to V.Waltz

 

[Zaratustra shaking it]

Im gonna reffer only to TANGO (AT):

*Por una cabeza (the version with lyrics).
*La Cumparsita.
*Uno.
*La última copa/Muñeca brava.
*A media luz/El choclo.
*Milonga de mis amores/La puñalada (great milonga).
*El dia que me quieras/La última curda.

...etc.

I love Secret Garden. I saw (heard?) them in concert.

*Por una cabeza (the version with lyrics).

Do you know who performs the version with lyrics? I've only ever heard instrumental versions....

 

[Joe]

Um, probably Carlos Gardel.
