just wait til LJ comes in here and nominates dubstar tracks

Btw, I like every single tune I've nominated so far.

(xx-post)

i dont doubt that (dont let dan kid you that he doesnt like them either)

I think all my favourite Eurodance tunes have now been nominated, so I'll stop too.

How about your favourite Nu-Rave tunes?

I am, at the very least, fond of every track I've posted

"Dreamer" by Livin' Joy was pushing it tho

M People - Moving On Up
M People - One Night in Heaven
M People - Renaissance

(Fuck anyone who thinks M People were too MOR or something, these are some timeless classics!)

ok thats even worse than shitty eurodance

Happy Mondays - Hallelujah

and are 'Playing With Knives' and 'I'm Gonna Get You' different tracks? I thought they were different parts of the same song! The rollerskating girl in the video was a brief fixation of mine.

They're different tunes. "I'm Gonna Get You" is the one that goes "why waste your time, you know you're gonna be mine". "Knives" doesn't have any singing except some vocal samples, IIRC.

^^^

also both are brilliant

has any new order been nominated yet?

haha, best nominations thread ever <3

wha-? that's not true at all

also:

New Order - Fine Time

so many tracks http://209.85.117.197/12413/88/0/e25948//e25948.gif

K-Klass - Let Me Show You
A Homeboy, a Hippie & a Funki Dredd - Total Confusion
A Homeboy, a Hippie & a Funki Dredd - Here We Go Again

better to have too many than the usual suspects going "there's no xxx by xxx and i wanted to vote for that"

Dawn Penn & Bounty Killer - You Don't Love Me (Reel 2 Reel Junglist Mix)
M Beat feat. General Levy - Incredible
Barrington Levy & Beenie Man - Under Me Sensi (X Project Remix)
Leviticus - Burial (Lovers Rock Mix)

I think we need a recap of all nominations so far.

On the other hand people manage to compile polls where every record ever released is eligible, so it's not likely to be that big a deal.

No idea how to whittle this lot down to an actual ballot though.

OTM. I've been listening to electronic/dance music for almost 20 years now, and it's pretty much my favourite type of music in the history of music, so choosing 20 or 40 tracks for a ballot feel impossible.

ask gear to allow a ballot of 100 then

can i veto the xx before dan nominates them? ;)

hey i don't post on those either!

Ronan is it the fact that the noms list is too large or the fact that it would be impossible to make a top list?

i just don't know where i'd start with a list really....it's too broad for me, i think there must be a few hundred tracks i love. also it's that thing of the more you're into something the more difficult it is to make lists about it.

it was hard doing the metal list, and this one wont be any easier.

your shortlist will be several hundred tracks/albums

This'll be harder than the metal for me. I know more dance music.

xactly

More nominations:

µ-ziq - Roy Castle
Boards of Canada - Telephasic Workshop
Mylo vs. Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure (Dirty Club Mix)
Tyree feat. Kool Rock Steady - Turn Up the Bass (Scratch It Up Mix)
Caunos - Herzsprung 1
Farley "Jackmaster" Funk & Jesse Saunders - Love Can't Turn Around
Op:l Bastards - Scorpius
DJ Tamsin & The Monk - A Better Place (DJ Crystl Remix)
Robert Armani - Hit Hard
Second Phase - Mentasm
Isolée - Beau Mot Plage (Freeform Reform Parts I & II)

I hope remixes are treated as separate entities in this poll, since they are such an essential part of dance music. For example, I'd definitely vote for the "Beau Mot Plage" remix nommed above, but I'm not sure if I'd include the original in my ballot at all. The same goes for the DJ Crystl remix of "A Better Place", and many others.
