Out of the Blue is a classic because of its distinct structure and (at the time) innovative synths. It also doesn't have god-awful vocals ("I see you...") and it doesn't use horrible synth strings as the melody. Finally, it doesn't follow the age-old structure the Airwave sticks to with annoying predictability.

Airwave is candy cutter trance. I have absolutely no objection to music selling, and I don't have a grudge towards Airwave because of its success, but it does annoy me that everyone round here refuses to call it cheese just because it is a good track.

1. The "I see you..." vocals are only in the radio edit of Airwave.

2. Rank 1's strings were just as innovative and distinct (at the time) as any element of OotB.

3. Its "age-old" structure is no different from any other trance tune since then.

So, if you call Airwave cheese you essentially call all trance from 1999 onwards cheese. While that is a valid opinion in itself Airwave must still be recognized as one of the pioneers of the sound and thus inherently more worthwhile.

Geez... why can't anybody ever post on a thread without arguing? An OPINION is just that... an opinion. Stop trying to dispute everything and argue over something completely irrelevant (what is cheese, what isn't cheese, etc)

Anyways, my pick for a cheesy song that I can't help but love is:

Emjay - Flying to the Moon.

It's older eurodance style stuff... but meh... cheese like that gets caught in your head sometimes...

Its my opinion that Out of the Blue was pioneering a new sound, while Airwave was ripping off an existing one (the digital classical style common since the early 90s) and bastardising trance into the "take a catchy sample and put a beat behind it and leave it at that" formula.

was it ferry corsten himself who called his supersaw tunes (carte blanche, out of the blue etc) as eurotrance..

even though i love that overused jp shit, what does it have to do with the sound that trance had when it startted?

just listen to a extended versions of these cheesy pop you name, dj sammy, ian van dahl and etc..
and without the vocals they would be so damn close to those supersaw uplifters like out of the blue airwave etc..

and obviously most people are even big fan of vocal trance..
which i'm not

You must be off your head. There's nothing cheesy about this tune at all. Its pure musical dynamite.
