Normally I bash euro trash....but this is not euro trash..it was euro in the golden days....and that is what I grew up on

I grew up on dr.alban, the loft, the real mcCoy, fun factory, herbie and others. Hell I own all 3 real mcCoy albums and stuff..it is great...oh btw...mike koglin did euro...as a keyboardist.....if you look closely on the best of dr.alban 1990-1997...you see as backup musicians..jam and spoon.

WOW, thats the way I see it ... the golden years of music. And the year 1997 was probably the last year of great eurodance ... I love Culture Beat, 2 Unlimited, Snap, DJ Company, and many more from 1991-1998 that did eurodance. It was just a golden age, thats a perfect word to describe that. And I JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO DR ALBAN - LET THE BEAT GO ON ON THE SAME CD THAT I MENTIONED!!! PHAT TRACK!!!

I got a lot of eurodance from that era. Love Fun Factory and Real McCoy ..... automatic lover .... i wanna be with you ....

Euro was bigger back then and the tracks were actually decent in the GOLDEN ERA of euro. Euro was euro and it did not pretend to be trance or anything else and the stuff that was coming out of Germany and Sweden during that time was amazing. Remember the real mcCoy had 3 songs in the top 10 in the us charts in 1995, which was unheard of and all 3 went number 1. Another Night, Runaway (MY ALL TIME EURO FAVE) and Automatic Lover.

I love those tracks myself ... I own all his singles and I like his duets with Rockell .... and Rockell was great too. Remember the Chris Sheppard's Pirate Sessions? hehe ....

ah, good memories, I have 2 CDs with classical tunes including most of these, sometimes play in my car

Rhythm Is A Dancer... More and More and More....

LOL , good stuff

WOW. When I started this thread, I expected a lot of bashing and violence and ... stuff. I cant believe there's so many TAs out there that feel the same way about classic eurodance music. Those were some great years of dance music ... that i wont forget.

Thanks a lot, TAs~!

This is the kind of stuff I used to stay up late to listen to (late back then was like 11pm-2am) when "Open House Party" was on the local pop radio station.

This stuff was popular back then in the states but fizzled away. I can't even stand listening to "Open House Party" anymore...a bunch of cheesy songs and stupid ass "remixes" which have one or 2 things different from the original song.

Ah the good old days...
