Favorite beat

What is your favorite beat from any song? The song can suck balls yet still have a very attractive beat to it.

Mine would have to be:
Pulsedriver vs. George Kranz - Din Daa Daa (extended mix)

that 'oon ce oon ce oon ce oon ce' beat

that's not important for a trance track i don't have any idea, but my choice surely goes for a techno or hard techno track, or maybe an acid-core one...for example i like the beat in
DAVE the drummer - "Barbed wire 303", that's not the best beat ever but this is the first one i have thought reading this thread

Perpetous Dreamer - Sound of Goodbye has always done it for me

can u understand that the beat in a trance tune is just necessary, nothing more. Tracks like Armin - Communication, Tiesto - Theme from Norefjell, Thrillseekers - synaesthesia, Major league - Wonder where you are...are awesome tracks, but we don't care about the beat, the basslines in a trance track are important, but the beat itself? so the subject is interesting if you consider Hardtechno, or techno tracks, or hardcore ones where the beat is essential...ok the topic is "best beat in ANY song?" so i could choose a techno track...
So Floorfiller, just explain why do you think i am stupid?

Of course the beat is important. What if the beat was flat, bassless and dull? Would it make you dance in a club?

Saying beat isn't important in trance is like saying cheese isn't important in pizza.

it's the basslines, the melodies, the atmosphere of a track which could make me dance not a simple beat...i can dance on a track with a poor beat but with cool basslines and sounds...
the comparaison with the pizza is funny but doesn't work IMO but that's only my opinion...
