The term I generally use is "Club Music" because The Clubs played Funk, Jazz-Funk and Disco Funk. The easiest way to tell if a track was any good was whether or not it cleared the dancefloor! All the Clubgoers I met had discerning taste and wouldn't have payed out good money to listen to a load of crap anyway.

Of course it's all down to personal taste, but relating to something that Jackhammer mentioned in another thread; There are those who feel it's safer to agree with everyone else.
