Hope you don't mind me commenting here - I saw this post on a friends page.
The attitude you can only listen to dance or indie music is a bit absurd. You've hit the nail on the head with some of the Warp-style artists you mention. I'm not surprised however if some write off dance music if they only get to hear trance, which is a very moribund and predictable type of dance music.
For dance music acceptable to rockist ears why not try the DFA compilations, who adopt an indie/punk ethic into everything they do. Further than that Output and BPitch control labels to name just two are releasing a wide range of interesting 'dance' music. (Avoid anything with Ibiza on the cover though ;).
