A State of Trance Top 20 of 2008 voting now open

Yep, it's that time of year again! Carefully choose your top 5 favorite tracks from this year played on Armin's "A State of Trance" radio show and vote for them in this year's Top 20 of 2008 poll.

http://www.arminvanbuuren.net

This poll will decide the Top 20 of 2008, which will be aired on December 18, 2008, and the yearmix of 2008, which will be aired the following week on December 25. The yearmix will also be available on CD format in December.

Don't forget that this poll includes all of 2008, so don't forget about those tracks from back in January, February, and March!

Lastly, please be sure to check your e-mail for the vote confirmation after you have submitted your vote. Your vote will not be counted if it is not confirmed! Check your spam folders if it does not appear in your inbox.

Happy voting!

i await for these results furiously.

voted. thanks to orkidea's album I found 5 tracks not vomit-worthy

ehm, yeah, so of course Autumn Lights is not in the list. It's only the best track of the year.

Finally they are smart enough not to put the tracks on alphabetical order though. Three cheers to that!

edit: @ Ian, aren't you gonna vote for Pjanoo?

Nah. It's a fun tune that i've had lots of good times with but it's not toty, just effective cheese

WTF are Pjanoo and 4AM doing on this show? There were a couple of good songs I missed that I didn't know ASOT played - Ultra, Friday Coffee, Pjanoo, Europa, that I voted for. But holy shit at all those remakes of old songs (Melburn got a 2008 remix???).

Pretty much. 00.db - Ark and Vibrasphere - Autumn Lights were the best two trance tracks this year, criminal to have any sort of list like this without mentioning them.

Really hard to pick 5, I keep deleting them and adding new ones. Sick year for trance

deadrat6 is on the list, lets vote for him

indeed the only trance labels in the entire universe.

What a shocking year for trance. It really has been utter shite. I struggled to pick 5 tracks.

I think the only couple of tracks I have really enjoyed this year were

Majai - Phoria (JVD remix)
Ferrin And Low - Breeze (Original Mix)

Awful album from Armin, dissapointed with Ferrys new one, And the pointless remixes of classics. 2008 remix of
Marcos - Cosmic String?? Really is there any need....

Shite.

I am seeing PVD next week at Gods and I purposely havent downloaded any of his sets in the past few months. So I'm looking forward to see what hes playing at the moment. Hopefully he restores some of my faith!

Maybe you just don't like trance bro. I would have problems picking a top 20 list let alone top 5.

DJ Eco - Tonight is Forever (Martin Roth Edit)

for #1 track gogogo

On the whole trance is the only genre I have ever listened to. For me I thought the best period was around 2003-04. Obviously 98 was also great to.

This year has been by far the worse. Even for EDM. There have been no so called big tunes over the summer period. Ibiza had Pjanoo played over and over and over again.

Top artists producing awful music to target commercial buyers. Tiesto and Armin being 2 of the biggest culprits.

Horrible remakes, Just leave the classics alone, there really is no point in remixing them, even some of the better ones have still been poor imo. This signals to me lack of creativity, laziness and people ripping other artists off.

The lack of quality. consistently bad tracks released every week by crap producers. Beatport and the like have had a major part in this.

I know its a well known fact that trance has been falling for the last 10 years, but I think this year has been one of the worst years due to all of the above.

that's a load of shit. I can name a top 10 of the year that doesn't include anything played on that show. ASOT does not = all trance & It's about time people realised that.

The quality and types of tracks signed by the big labels this year has been weak at best.

I've heard TONNES of great melodic and uplifting tracks this year but many have been neglected or signed to smaller labels.

Hell man, Anjuna was one of my favourite labels and I think I've bought only 3 of their releases from this year (Not including Deep, they are releasing some wicked stuff). That is rather sad.

Gareth Emery - This is That not in the list ?? okkk best track of the year not there..
