The articles shall follow a "Neutral point of view", not an "Anti-dansband point of view". For some people, dansband music is the ultimate music. / J 1982 03:21, 3 July 2007 (CEST)
Well, contemporary dance band is nothing like silly, just pointless. Late 70-mid 80 dance band on the other hand.. then we're talking sillyness.. 83.209.100.5000:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)Sarnath
Dansband?
Even if I am Swedish I have to ask, "dansband" however could this be an English term? Well, then we can copy all titles from Swedish Misplaced Pages and just translate the text. I'll add "heltäckningsmatta" next. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.66.226 (talk) 10:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Dansband is a genre and a concept, and shouldn't be translated, just as "rock", "funk" and "country" music shouldn't be literally translated. Since there isn't any real equivalent in English, the original word is retained. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 18:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
It's hard to explain exactly, but Schlager is more pop-oriented, also their arenas are different, dansband arenas are built for dancing, schlager arenas are built for watching a show. Try to download some samples and judge for yourself. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 18:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I am sure that this is a proper Swedish term - but dance bands were very much in vogue between the Twenties and Fifties in the UK. I am not all sure why there isn't a proper article on them. Phil Tate was one of the leaders; as was Geraldo, and Henry Hall.Peter Shearan (talk) 13:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
