Northern Dancefloor Acceptance

[Barry]

We all know the tracks that upon initial play get stick for being played in a Northern room.

Do they eventually gain acceptance due to the fact that jocks stick to their guns and continually play them, therefore on the hierachy scale make them less susceptible to bitching -'Suchabody (DJ) plays it so it msut be worthy of it's play'.

Do they gain acceptance due to the old addage that exposure to any form of music eventually gives you an understanding of its merits.

Or does it take a while for people to get out of the peer pressure that surrounds this scene, to find it within themselves to actually admit 'Yes, I do like it?

My question at heart is, why does it take sooo long for obvious 70's and 80's quality records to be seen as Northern dancefloor standards.

Write the list - there are bloody hundreds.

Any views?

E I'd never play it

F what the hell are you doing playing that in a northern room
