-- Bay Area Radio station's "Top 92 Dance Songs"
Bay Area Radio station's "Top 92 Dance Songs"
So, I have to say that I'm disappointed with the local Dance radio station here in the San Francisco Bay Area. They occasionally play somewhat good music (usually livesets when someone like PvD comes to town), but usually its cheesy dance music.
Recently this station, Energy 92.7 FM, put out their "Top 92 Dance Songs of All Time".

Now, I know that most of the public seems to be into this cheesy music, but isn't this list appalling?
Anyway, what do you think about this list? I think that there are only two or so songs on here that are worthy of being "top songs".
I dont understand why you are so upset with this list? If you go up to any random person on the street do you really expect them to know Mesh - Purple Haze? Haha, this is the USA buddy... the EDM that all of us know is unknown to every other person who lives here. Get over it. 
Only songs on that list worth mentioning; Rapture, Children, Insomnia, Days go by.
Children probably wouldn't be in my "top 92" at all.
Haha! I'm not really THAT upset - I didn't mean to come across that way. It just seems that they could at least have someone other than Madonna or LaBouche or other EXTREMELY cheesy 90s dance songs for their top 92. My friends aren't EDM aficionados by any means (most of them at least), but they at least know of Paul Oakenfold and Paul van Dyk.
I'm not expecting anything like Purple Haze or anything, just to have better songs than Snap's "Rhythm is a Dancer". Anyway, like you said, it is the USA. :-)
Don't forget that those are the kinds of people who'd call most of that list "techno".
Haha that's sure true.
I agree with that list. About 90% of those songs are ace tunes that I wouldn't mind hearing in a club. In fact, most of them I HAVE heard at a club sometime this year, which just goes to show their longevity and timeless quality. You people seriously need to stop being such anal-retentive, narrow-minded pretentious gits.....I don't agree with the top10, but I wasn't expecting to. A little too heavy on the Madonna tracks, but you can't fault her for repeatedly shacking up with the best producers to cane catchy, melodic pop hits.
This list from the looks of things goes all the way back to 1965, and they did the best they could to weed out the top tunes in a 40-year discography, and you're getting your panties in a bunch because they don't have any relatively recent vocal trance?
Give your heads a shake. The dance world doesn't revolve around ASOT, trancecrackers.
Whoa there... I never said anything about wanting ASOT style vocal trance. In fact, I dont like much of the recent vocal trance out there today. I simply just dont feel that the 'top 92' songs reflects anything other than a very narrow scope of dance tracks.

I'm no fan of 92.7. Whenever they play dance music it's usually old stuff. I've heard ATRC and Southern Sun way too many times on that station.
