Generally a song that has a slow tempo and a not-too-heavy arrangement, but
grooves.

Um... just about all AJ music is dance music anyway...

>They're talking about the time signature.

Er... Most of all AJ music is in 4/4 time anyway...

"Four on the floor" refers to the sound of a kick drum being played on
every beat. (i.e. THUD THUD THUD THUD - or more realistically - THUD (tss)
THUD (tss) THUD (tss) THUD (tss) ) Think of house music.

Basically, '"Four On The Floor" Song' in this poll means jazzy house or
acid jazz track set to a house beat. And yes, I guess you can nominate your
favorite "speed garage" tune (though I personally saved "Speed garage" for
my "Overrated Project of the Year" nomination :)
