I know guys - there are countless top-10, top-20, fav-5 and all such threads (and maybe a thread like this one too). Please bear with me on this one and help me out - a humble request.

If i were to ask you to nominate just one track - just that one EDM track from all the tonnes of tunes you have or have heard, what would your nomination be?

This nomination is not year specific, nor genre-specific as long as it is from within EDM. For example, it could be house/break-beat/trance/techno or any of progressive/degenerative/housey-trance/trancey-house/mcprog etc. If you want to nominate one per genre, do that after nominating your "one" song.

Trust me, the answer may not come as easy as it sounds. I am still struggling to nominate mine even after spending last one hour and going over my umpteen "excellent" (i keep tracks grouped as average/good/excellent with most current-day tracks ending up in average) sub-folders on my machine.

One rule exists - you have to pick up your nomination from tracks excluding ones already nominated. You cannot nominate a song already nominated by someone. You can point to that nomination saying "That would've been my nomination too" but once it's already nominated, it's done for. You have to still nominate a song.

For example, if i was about to nominate "Orbital - One Perfect Sunrise" and if it's already nominated by someone, i'll nominate my second or third choice, say "IIO - Rapture (AvB Remix)".

Among my many selfish interests is to find out if there is a track out there worthy to be someone's alltime favourite and i haven't known of/heard of it.

Thanks in advance.

My own nomination (and for some special reasons):

DJ Tiesto - A Tear In The Open

I remember listening to it again and again and again, and for many days when it first came out. Don't recall any EDM track that i might have played so many times (The closest are probably Robert Miles - Children when it first came out and Motorcycle - As the rush comes).

Added Later: The first 101 Tracks upto Page-15 of the thread is listed below for your reference.
