10 best techno/trance songs ever?
 

I'm always looking for new music and I've found other people's top-10 lists are a good way to find stuff. Anyway, list what you think are 10 of the best techno/trance songs ever. Here's mine in no particular order.

1. Monsoon - Africa
2. Chicane - Autumn Tactics
3. Lost Tribe - Gamemaster
4. Plummet - Damaged (Florida Airwaves Mix)
5. Sash! - Encore Un Fois
6. Mystique Silence - Dreams
7. UKW - Hypnotic (Binary Finary Mix)
8. Coast 2 Coast - Home
9. Fragma - Toca Me (NOT the vocal version)
10. KayCee - Escape

This is gonna be a total trance list in no particular order, I'm not much of a techno fan. :)

Veracocha (aka Ferry Corsten) - Carte Blanche
Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (DJ Tiesto remix)

songs..
 

I like techno, but trance is my least favorite (next to ambient) of the big genres.. I prefer breakbeat, big beat, house etc..

That said, I do still like trance, but I'm not as knowledgable as the other genres. So my taste is probably more commerical :) Also, I couldn't come up with 10 strictly trance songs, so I just threw in some others that you may want to check out.

1. John Digweed "Heaven Scent"
2. Crystal Method "Bad Stone"
3. Uberzone "Deamtime"
4. Chemical Brothers "Where do I begin" aka 'that vanilla sky soundtrack song'
5. Radiohead "idioteque"
6. Chamonix - 77 Strings
7. Orbital "Mobius"
8. Orb "Little fluffy clouds"

yea it's not 10.. I'm at work, so I'm kinda stretching my memory to come up with 8 heh. Maybe I'll finish it later tonight from home.

One Night in New York City

You're probably thinking of Darude. Sorta old track...really popular in its time?

Darude thats correct.

Best techno/trance song ever:

Jones & Stephenson - The first rebirth

And here I thought everyone hated Trance...

Really hard to put them in order, I'm a huge EDM freak, and I spin as well. This is obviously personal opinion, not what would be considered the 10 best/most talked about tracks.

1. The Quest - C Sharp [Original Mix]
2. Sasha - Xpander
3. Lost Tribe - Gamemaster [Original Mix]
4. Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar [Three N One Mix]
5. Tenth Planet - Ghosts [Vincent de Moor Mix]
6. Dumonde - Never Look Back [Tiesto Mix]
7. Solar Stone - Seven Cities [Armin van Buuren Mix]
8. Dutch Force - Deadline [Original Mix]
9. Sunbeam - Outside World
10. Binary Finary - 1998 [PVD Mix]


Ahhhh, there's so many more, I could make a Top 100 list off the top of my head. 8(

I really like the Robert Miles / Chicane ambient (I think it's ambient?) stuff.

I'm no huge techno expert, but I listen to it casually. I downloaded Autumn Tactics / Saltwater and some of Chicane's other stuff years ago, and I still listen to it on occasion.

Whoa...all techno has SONGS?!?! I thought they were just random keyboard strokes by guys who need to get their balls reattached.
