After the jump, Marty and Nate dig through the history of rock artists making dance music, spending time with five specific albums from different eras - David Bowie's Young Americans, Liquid Liquid's Optimo EP, The Rapture's Echoes, The Dirtbombs' Party Store, and Tame Impala's Currents - to get a sense of how the idea of dance rock has evolved over the past 40 years.
