Essential Tracks every Trance DJ Needs?

What are the essential Trance tracks that every dj should have? I just got my set of 1200's and need to start purchasing some vinyl. I mainly mixed cd's a long time ago, but after 5 years, I'm getting back into it and need to get the best and essential tracks that a Trance/Progressive DJ would need, to play at a club.

Any suggestions?

well atm it seems like Iio - Rapture is an essential, but personally i would say for an angel, classic, push - the legacy and ralphie b - massive, quality track, and urban train obviously!

For some awsome uplifting tracks personally I would go with:

-Fire and Ice: Souvenier de chine
-Urban train
-PPK ressurection
Give these a try, they're my favourite trax.
-Svenson and Gielen: Twisted
-Exor: the bells (it might be just bells. I forgot heehee)

Just buy what you like. Go to the record store and just buy what you like; Don't worry bout what other people think, b/c if you get bogged down in pleasing everyone, you won't and you'll get fed up and loose your way. Play from the heart.

Thanks for your listings guys.
I basically got 30 tunes right now on Vinyl. My problem is I go to Yoshitoshi in DC and I haven't really ordered or took the time to listen to shit online yet. But basically I listen to tracks at Yoshitoshi, and it ususally sounds good. When I get home, its like a totally different track!!!

So I sometimes get dissapointed at what I choose. Probably 15 of the 30 tracks I got are so-so...Then I have my friend Kevin, who doesn't even have DECKS!!! has like 60 tunes...but they are all top-notch and I wouldn't pass any of them off in a set...

So all your listings is going to help me choose some tracks. I'm sick of just going to the vinyl shop and picking out shit that I've never heard of...I guess the thing to do is get the MP3 first. Make sure I like the tune, then buy it on vinyl.

Thanks again.
