This is an excellent topic idea!
I agree and disagree with dEsidEL.
True, trance cannot be the "superior" form of music - but not because of "who are you to say trance is the best" (a petty reason, at best) but because music cannot be reviewed objectively. It just can't, it's not possible. Your emotions and preferences will always get involved.
That's why dEsidEL is right in that it's an opinion thing, a subjective thing.
On the other hand, I personally love trance the most out of any genre (with the exception of classical). Just because someone else doesn't, does that make trance any less important to me? Who are THEY to say that trance ISN'T the best? To me, trance IS the best, and from my perspective, nothing else comes close (again, excepting classical).
And that's what matters the most, what you believe and what you love for yourself, not what others think. I don't care if someone else loves country (or anything else) so much as to call it a religion... to me, that's just not true.
Of course, from an absolute, objective perspective, none of this applies!! Indeed, it's impossible to judge music objectively, as I said above. because of that, music should NOT be compared. You cannot compare beliefs or preferences of different people, simply because of the dilemma - who is the judge, who is the arbiter? Who decides what's "good" and what isn't? Nothing can, except someone else! And that third-party will bring their own subjective perspectives, etc.
So, to sum up, yes, trance is the best and nothing else beats it, *IMHO*. To someone else, however, the complete opposite may apply. But I don't care - it doesn't make a real difference to me.
