Jazzbo,
While the music you kindly pointed us to might very well be catchy and evoke a great feeling, I think the guys were taking issue with your assertion that:

If you want a list of songs which when played are guaranteed to get everybody dancing (well, OK, maybe not every song), look no further, Bunky:
My experience is that those songs won't cut it with the girls we enjoy and to whom we have dedicated this website.
Just a few mongering years ago, my Ipod was filled with the music of my youth, i.e., songs of the 60's and 70's. I enjoyed waxing nostalgic with Spanky, PR, BKTuna and others, listening to this music, and we even had a few foo foo parties with this music as background. The guys enjoyed the music, but the girls, for the most part, found it lacking.
Then I had my first trip to Rio and I HEARD the music in Help disco. It was latin, hip hop, Rhianna, and a healthy dose of it played on US radio. I had always eschewed that music but it got into my head at Help, and I saw the way the girls reacted to it. It was a real eye opener for me and I embraced it. I'm glad that I did, cause this music serves me very well in my current mongering situation (and props to Archieleach and Skosh who came up with the initial playlist which expands weekly).
So while the music you referenced my evoke a mood for you and may be quite fun, it is certainly not "guaranteed to get everybody dancing." The guys reacted the way they did because they know this, and are probably mildly amused that you didn't.
Ciaociao
