100. BT - Love Peace And Grease

Trance?? Puleeze, BT is a genius but this is like a retro-breaksy type thing. Nice to see so many of his tracks on there though.

All the more reason to boycott MTV.

haha... Mtvs music totaly sucks... but I'm one of thoes dumbass kids who loves watching real world, and like pimp my ride, and all that dumb shit. i mean i dont mark it on my calender but if its on ill watch it.

Yep cheese is the answer, lets all be greatful that Dj sammy - heaven wasnt in top 10

I am interested in the methodology of how this was put together, who did they poll for chart selections, did sales and popularity have any effect (it likely did), and soforth.

What did you expect?

wildboyz is the only good thing associated with mtv

that show is f*cking hilarious!








way back in the day, mtv was the shit, with good heavy metal and alternative videos, and of course beavis & butthead

yo mtv raps was an awesome show too

it could have been worse...

Top 100 Trance anthems of all time???

what exactly is a trance anthem? (serious)

I'd define an anthem as a tune that is a true epitome or representation of the genre that is played years after it's released. For example, Energy 52 - Cafe del Mar is more than likely an anthem.

I define a trance anthem as a "Classic" like Robert Miles - Children or Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel.

It usually gets played for many years because of its huge popularity and the effect it has on the dance floor.

Originally posted by meneedit what exactly is a trance anthem? (serious)

Additionally, I'd often equate "anthem" with a bold, epic feel... like something that might accompany a dramatic action scene in a film if the music was not traditional orchestral.

Something that calls the listeners to attention and inspires, like a National Anthem -- it rouses up emotions, and often will contain multiple builds and climaxes. In other words, dynamic contrast. If you can march an army to it and give a grand speech whilst doing so, it just might be . . . an anthem

Another common element of trance anthems are snare rolls... when you hear a snare drum or other sharp percussive instrument rise in volume on top of the mix, and go

CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH *CYMBAL BANG!!!*

i should add, wild snare rolls are often found mating with the infamous "climactic air swoooooooooooshhh" and the "domestic reversed cymbal".

*BANG BANG BANG*

heheh.

build ups..great synths. like in universal way (hemstock and jennings mix)..

that's a anthem

Oh Yeah!!!!! you just reminded me of another question I wanted to ask.


what is it with "cafe del mar" theres that track "Energy 52 - Cafe del Mar" but theres also those Cafe del Mar comps which have various artists. So.... whats the dealio? is there some sort of connection here? if not, then where did they both get the name "Cafe del Mar" from?

Like Cheers, Cafe Del Mar is a place where everyone knows your name... or is supposed to... it's a physical location, a real cafe.

Short background:

http://www.ibiza-spotlight.com/night/cafe_del_mar_i.htm

Much music has been inspired by this place and the surroundings.

Cue resident expert listening to Cafe del Mar at the moment.....

Cafe del Mar is a beachside cafe in San Antonio, Ibiza. A legendary place and the Energy 52 tune is just named after it.

Residents at the Cafe del Mar, Jose Padilla and Bruno Lepetre put together a number of compilations of chilled music based on what they had played at the Cafe over the past 20 or so years

I love Cafe del Mar and can't get enough of the CDs, now bought 22 of them

Re: Top 100 trance anthems

I cannot belive this horrible 'song' made the list

That list is a very bad joke. They say that it is trance anthems, yet they dont have songs like Airwave or Universal Nation but have The Boys of Summer and Heaven..

Since when did MTV know anything about trance that they could rank songs? I've never seen them play trance ONCE here in the States.... must be MTV Europe?

-Keith

Nice list, they are trance anthems afterall. A lot of good tunes there, but as well as a lot of cheese.

its all old ish. MTV needs to have a reality show about DJ's!
