| correct me if I'm wrong but by consensus, 1999 is considered the year of trance. What about progressive house though? I assume it's the 2nd most popular subgenre ever on TA so I just wanted to ask. |

| idk if progressive house has a "the year", but the period between 98~2004 is the best imo. |

1993 was the peak of true progressive house. The list of anthems is peerless: Little Bullet, Cowgirl, For What You Dream Of, Open Up, Slid, De Niro, Packet Of Peace, Water From A Vine Leaf, Compass Error, Schudelfloss... It goes on and on.
In terms of worldwide popularity, it was probably 2001. Progressive was truly omnipresent in that year: every track seemed to have a progressive remix on the B-side. |

my answer in the back of my head while making this thread was also 1993. matter of fact, I was thinking about making a 1993 mix.
I guess it's 2001 then if we're talking about worldwide popularity. :( |

| so progressive house at its peak overlapped for a couple of years. Interesting brethren, I should've thought of that. |

| I remember Slacker - Scared and N.B.G. - Groovebird were hits so 1996 and 1997 are years I would mention next to tracks back to 1992. I don't think I'm able to pick one year as peak. |

Well maybe it just never really did peak enough. Probably personal taste will make everyone pick different years.
Okay, by using a long list over the years maybe it would be possible to pick one. |

which is 1993 to be blunt. this is when Guerilla had the most activity going on when they were active, and Spooky made 3 classic singles before he abandoned progressive house for some experimental stuff. |
