The main thing for me here seems to be missing in most arguments.
Check out post 11, theres a clip of the record being played in the Crazy Horse at the Butlins weekender in Feb. I was there at the time to witness this (unfortunately)
Now this is an oldies only crowd, many resplendent in their bags, with a beer towel tucked away in their badge covered holdall. This record comes on and the floor is heaving
Why? Its not a Wigan stomper!
Is it because some "DJ's" ( I use the term loosely ) have decided its worthy of plays and when it comes on and everyone dives to the floor, people think "this is popular - I'd better dance" ???
I know one thing, if Butch had've come on next and played some quality proper tunes the whole crowd would have walked off and stood there with their arms folded!
