it's definitely a tossup between kernkraft and sandstorm

Just because they are played in stadiums and all that doesn't make it mainstream.

Ask most people for details of those song (the artist & the track name), and I bet you will get few who do know. They might know Zombie Nation, but they prob think that's the track name and not know it's the artist name,a nd the song is called something completely different.

Beynod that, I'll go with a track that I heard on all kinsd of radio stations back in the day. Robert Miles - Children.

I thought it was something from Moby or The Prodigy? Its definitely Darude - Sandstorm in the rest of the world

You can't really classify Kraftwerk as Electronic Dance Music.

I think Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up based on teh knowing the title and basically, everyone I've ever met seems to know this.

I would've said Kernkraft 400 but, no one knows Zombie Nation or the song name, just the melody

A lot of people don't know it's called Sandstorm either but they still recognize it when they hear it. The fact that people don't know the name doesn't change the fact that a song is popular.

What about these? I don't know, just would think it would be a track from before 1995, but that's just a feeling.
