Is that it, having read your profile I was expecting something more than one track.
2 Unlimited Get Ready For This
This was a major turning point in Dance music, very, very, very underrated

Yeah. Of course. ![]()
Marty, Marty, Marty if it wasn't for 2 Unlimited, there'd be no Fragma, Gorrilaz, Underworld...need I go on?
Planet Rock - top tune, but meandering run-of-the mill hogwash without the Kraftwerk sample.
More recent top dance tunes would have to include:
William Orbit - Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Mix) Flute - Barcode Brothers Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Cosmic Gate
But THE all time classic dance track has to be:
Leftfield - Not Forgotten
wow- i didn't realsie that this thread would produce so mmany responses - learned or otherwise:
As for my all time faves -
DJ Misjah and Tim - access Last rhythm - last rhythm voodoo ray - a guy called gerald Strings of life - rhythm is rhythm dreams - quench leftfield - not forgotten djs rule - get into the music orange lemon - dreams of santa anna perfect motion - sunscreem no other love - blue amazon for what you dream of - bedrock pacific state - 808 state public enemy vs wink - higher state with bring the noise homeboy hippy and a funky dred - total confusion know how - young mc
However my personal classic is
King Bee - back by dope demand
I make no apologies for including no recent stuff - as i have no time for the trancey stuff played today. I dont really go to clubs anymore - so that's probably the reason for my tastes.
T. Rex - "Get it on" New Order - "Temptation" Joy Division - "She lost control" (12 inch version) Grace Jones - "Nipple to the bottle" Humanoid - "Humanoid" A guy called Gerald - "Voodoo Ray" Ofra Haza - "Im nin alu" The Ukrainians - "Verkovýno" A Certain Ratio - "Do the do"/"Shack up" Happy Mondays - "Hallelujah" De Press - "Boj jo cie ko hom" The Associates - "Tell me it's Easter on Friday" Asian Dub Foundation - "Riddim I like" ClocDva - "4 hours" Cabaret Voltaire" - "Yashar" Propaganda - "Dr. Mabuse" Einstürzende Neubauten/Fad Gadget - "Collapsing new people" K.L.F. - "What time is love?" Wire - "2 people in a room" Faithless - "Insomnia" Yello - "Bostich"
Fuck me, Phil, have you ever thought of re-titling this thread "THE UNFLUSHABLE TURD - SLIGHT RETURN" ??
Because, just like the eponymous item, it keeps coming back and floating back up to the top, no matter how hard you try to get rid of it: actually that sums up much of the moronic cack that is trance/hard house and eurocheese, so it's actually rather apt, don't you think?
