way too many great tracks to name.
but it'd definitely have to be something from 98-99? the so called "classics" era anyhow

energy 52 - cafe del mar?

=p
keke
Built - Cried to Dream (Max Graham Remix)
Cant explain in words
Dj Guy
Blank & Jones - Cream
Trancealot
tony walker - Field of joy(origianl mix)
10 minutes of the most emotional track.

Another I guess is Dj tiesto - suburban train. tracks that you can really take the time to listen to the whole thing and look back is the best part.

I think I would have to go with Xpander, for a variety of reasons.

Xpander represents a sort of golden moment in history when trance and progressive were married in harmony; as a result, it has been accepted and acclaimed across a wide range of trance genres today. It represents the peak ascent of progressive house into progressive trance, a moment of purity, elegance, and unity in the scene that has gone unparalleled since. In short, Xpander is the centerpiece of the '99-era. It is the essence of global renaissance and transcendence during those years that many pine for today.

Technically it is simple, yet complex. Powerful, yet smooth. Energetic, yet soulful. An ideal peak-hour tune, yet also a perfect finale. It is not simply a masterpiece of sound in the realm of electronica, but in music overall. Xpander didn't mearly rise above the standard; it created the standard. It has proven to have longevity far beyond its peers and, to me personally, it never gets old; only deeper. I can name few other pieces of music that stand for as much as Xpander stands for.

Most other tracks pale in comparison. The original stands like a monolith over the many simple creations that have followed it. I highly doubt that it can ever be remixed with even the slightest chance of success. There are other legendary productions comparable to Xpander, but I don't think they quite reach the heights of Sasha's transcendent anthem.

It expands your consciousness. It expands your emotions. It expands your perceptions. It is Xpander.

and
fire and ice - forever young

thye are the two most beautiful trance songs i have ever heard, since the first time i heard them, and i never get tired of either, and i have two of each on vinyl =)

Dj Tiesto - Magik Journey

This track defines trance for me. It has all the elements that make a trance tunes its best. The emotion filled intro, sweet vocal, wicked bassline, phat beat, emotion filled breakdown, then the sweeping strings comes in with the climax. I dont think Tiesto can make another Magik Journey.
