If you weren't Dancing this year, don't say that nobody told you to. While David Bowie proposed Let's Dance, the durable Kinks doubled back with Come Dancing and Don't Forget to Dance. And just about everybody was tripping down Electric Avenue. No wonder all the women were wearing Danskins this year. If you're able to stop long enough to catch your breath, you can register your opinion of all this hopping floor-board action in the annual Playboy Music Poll. You'll find our suggestions listed at right; if we've missed your favorite, a write-in is fine. But, please, if you're voting for someone whose name does appear on the list, help our ballot counters and use the number beside the name. When you've finished side one, flip the ballot over and make your choices for Hall of Fame and Best LP categories. Only official ballots count, and they must be postmarked before midnight, November 1, 1983. For the beat on how you voted, look at our April 1984 issue. Meanwhile, keep on dancing.
