i think trance is a really shit genre, and you will have problems getting someone to like it, if they hate it already.

why don't you try some soulful/funky house or deep house?

Unless you don't like in which case it's not her who needs to change music taste.

But if not you could always try stuff like Miguel Migs - 24th Street Sounds.

i recommended Danny Howells' EM (2002-07-28) in some other thread. It contains lots of oldies as you can see in the Tl.

Doves - "Firesuite" (Heavenly)
Madonna & Massive Attack - "I Want You" (Maverick)
Simian - "The Wisp" (Source)
Polar - "Nightwatch" (Certificate 18)
Danny Byrd - "Expanded Remix" (Hospital)
Agent Black - "Feel Good" (Ivory)
The Funky Lowlives - "Inside [Dorfmeister vs Uptight Dub]" (Stereo Deluxe)
Primal Scream - "Screamadelica" (Creation)
Aloof - "Never Get Out Of The Boat" (FFRR)
Beastie Boys - "Shadrach" (Capital)
Kool & The Gang - "Spirit Of The Boogie" (De-Lite)
artist unknown - "Excerpt from James Brown Live At The Apollo Vol 2" (label unknown)
Patti Jo - "Make Me Believe In You" (Strut)
Prince - "Drum Link" (label unknown)
Cerrone - "Sweet Drums" (Atlantic)
First Choice - "Love Thang" (Salsoul)
Raw Silk - "Do It To The Music" (West End)
Sir Drew - "Fat Foot" (King Size)
Spooky - "Something's Got To Give" (Guerilla)
Age Of Chance - "Flame On" (Virgin)
Ekova - "Heaven's Dust" (Six Degrees)
Candida - "Jingo" (Danny Howellsi [Kitchen Sink Mix])
Mekon & Marc Almond - "Please Stay [Royskopp Mix]" (Wall Of Sound)
Clash - "Rock The Casbah" (Columbia)
Beatles - "Strawberry Fields Forever" (Apple)
Ringo Starr - "Strawberry Drums Forever [DH Re-Edit]" (Apple)

Theres lots of good electronica out there that she could probably enjoy.

Shpongle!!! She'll love it!

That's why you do what I did with my girlfriend...

Right from the get go you tell her if she doesn't learn to like the music then it's probably not going to work.

1 year later, she is just as pumped to see Armin as I am.

Unless you play the cheesy Euro-Pop/Nasty/Tiesto @ Disney shit, you probably won't get her with pure trance.

Try something like GU013 by Sasha, I've found A LOT of people can appreciate that compilation that hate EDM in general, its got something magical about it. 76 by AvB is a nice, uplifting, APPROACHABLE trance album to try if you want to take the cheesy route.

How come no one mentioned Tranceport yet?

I'd say go with Tranceport by Oakenfold, pretty good introduction to trance imo. Havana EM by Oakenfold might work too, or basically any EM from the 99 world tour.

My opinion is don't start her off with a bunch of full on trance or really hard stuff. Find lighter (not super-cheesy) stuff that is trance like, like some more downtempo releases and mix that in with some melodic trance. If you have it, ethereal-pop stuff like Delerium and Enigma and Balligomingo and even Ulrich Schnauss and put some more mainstream dance stuff like Andain's "Beautiful Things", and possibly weave in some Above & Beyond and Armin releases, like "Far From Love", "No One On Earth" and "Never Wanted This", "Burned With Desire" or "Yet Another Day". Don't start her off with the really high BPM trance stuff, just lighter stuff that has hints of trance music, or a little tease, but isn't like a full on Armin van Buuren, PvD or Gareth Emery set... put stuff in that she can identify more with, like vocal based music, more structured stuff. Even some house would be nice as well, so a variety....

Chicane - Behind the Sun
BT - IMA

Let her listen to whatever she wants to and stop being a trance missionaire.

How many lollipops did you need to get her into your white van?
