House and Techno are the OG genres. If you were interested in classics, or listing in chronological order, you'd start with disco and old electronic music and go from there, way before you get to trance.

What is OG?
I'm well versed in old school electronic music: Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze, etc. I dont know much about post 80's electronic music.
Aphex Twin is started me down the path into 90's electronica.

What?! You skipped one of the best decades if not the best. The birth of House, Techno and Hip-Hop music and era of piping hot Italo Disco, RnB and Electro and just generally good Pop music even.

I grew up in the '70s and '80s so am quite familiar with a lot of music from that era. Not really interested in it anymore.

Seriously, trance fans are a slimy, disgusting, cringey bunch. Why do I even bother?

One of the earliest Trance records. Trance to me is the greatest thing ever. It's so beautiful that it shouldn't exist but it does. Sadly though, it']s beauty is fading because of dirty politics and people wanting cash in on how precious it is but I still love this music a lot. It's helped me through the roughest of times. I owe everything to this music. Enjoy the journey because there is nothing that comes close to the euphoria and emotions that trance brings.

Check these compilation series for early 90's stuff:
The synth lead when the vocal hits is still cutting edge sound even today imo, dying to know which synth is being played at the minute.

You'll get all kinds of replies and all sorts of trance recommended in this thread, but since you're familiar with Armin and A&B if you want to hear what *in my opinion* represented them at the peak of their powers, I'd go for:
On the Paul van Dyk tip, if I was going to recommend one artist album it would be his 'Out There And Back'. It's mixed like a DJ set so it would be better to listen in one go rather than just finding the individual tracks on Youtube.
