System J (the Rave Crab ;) ) initiated a new poll on TranceAddict. It's formally titled:

As he said:
"This is an idea which I hope will go ahead and work. Basically, we have endless threads about what our favourite tracks ever are, so I thought it would be a good idea to take everyone's choices and come up with an official Top 100.
?
It works like this: You put your top ten tracks in a list. The top track gets ten points, the second gets nine, and so on… like this:"
EDM stands for Electronic Dance Music, so all genres in the umbrella are open to be nominated. The rules and everything are posted clearly, so if you'd like to chime in your Top 10 faves and see what comes out — the survey ends on August 27, hurry up! — I wholeheartedly encourage you to have some fun and share your cherry picks. If you don't have a TranceAddict account already, you'll need to sign up.?It's a quick-n-easy procedure.

Here are my choices, mostly melodic and an aural juxtaposition between the familiar and the alien:?
  • BT - P A R I S
  • The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
  • James Holden - A Break In The Clouds
  • Orbital - Lush 3-1
  • 'N Sync - Pop
  • Hybrid - Finished Symphony
  • Aphex Twin - Girl/Boy Song
  • Moby - Shining
  • Kraftwerk - The Model
  • Yellow Magic Orchestra - Rydeen
My reasoning behind each of these picks is explained here.?It was difficult so I spontaneously went with what was the cream of the crop off the top of my head. There are so many great tunes, and thinking + feeling about this helped to reaffirm my faith in the future of?techno music.
