Top 100 Dance Songs of the 00s

Everyone in dance music knows there's only really one list that matters, and that is the coveted AVPS top 100 songs of the 00s. I make no apologies for the lack of pap and guitar-based music (they're so 20th, man). This is a top 100 of this decade's *electronic* music - be it dance, trance, chill out, house or whatever. And here they are, in reverse order.

Edit: In time, I've got round to doing top 100 dance tunes of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s too!

Phil said...

Take off the blinkers my friend, their contributions to this list are top notch (though, it has to be said, Tiesto's going through a naff phase at the moment).

BenSix said...

Karin, the vocalist on t' Royksopp song, was also in two of one of the best bands of the decade (and made one of the best solo albums).

Phil said...

The Knife! I knew I'd forgotten someone - you always get a niggly feeling when you compile a list of this sort. Them bloody skateboards, eugh, and the flying bird/children things ... disturbing.

my eyes are wide open, unfortunately so are my ears!

Ugh, I detest Starry Eyed Surprise. Yes, Oakenfold's no good - Southern Sun was a very rare departure into quality tuneage on his part.

Phil said...

Meanwhile, here's a selection of the top trance tunes of 2009. Superb.

Phil said...

Arse, forgot this one from 2002. There's always one.
