nomination and discussion thread for possible top 100 electronic dance tracks of the 00s

also is this 2000-2009?

if that's the umbrella then I don't see any debate about what fits and what doesn't.

let's make it 2000-now.

exactly

I think it's best to have a wide range of noms, and people can decide for themselves what they consider to fit under the umbrella. If only because I think this Dennis Ferrer/UK Funky v House thing would be just the tip of the iceberg.

yeah I was just citing it as an example.

But if you can't see why saying "The Cure & The Cause" is in but "Do You Mind" is out is thoroughly inconsistent then you do not have ears.

I'm not the kind of person who typically says "screw genre it's all a big free for all" but I thinkl there are loads of fairly dodgy assumptions behind running "house / techno" together as if "we all know" what kind of music this means.

ok then, so not to waste any more time, let's make this an EDM poll. stuff like Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A. don't count right? please, at least you guys can agree with me on this, lol.

yeah i would assume that. remixes are fine though.

what about edits?

if anyone wants to nominate tessio then please state which version.

i think there are def rapture and LCD tracks (i need love, someone great) that are as housey as, say, superpitcher's mix of "the dream of evan and chan". i loathe that track but i bet it will place.

but yeah, i imagine that "house of jealous lovers" is out

disco edits?? that def seems out IMO.

but, but, they are like...bands.

yes, like tiger and woods.

my motive for wanting to include stuff like funky, ukg, dubstep, etc is just to make a more interesting poll and to include more diverse voices while still keeping the logical consistency of ok, these are all musics we can trace back to, or i dunno, maybe just essentially indebted to mr fingers and kevin saunderson (even drum and bass)

it's probably why i prefer RA's end of year roundup to LWE's, or pitchfork's to terrorizer's or CMJ's

what's the argument for purity?

would a workable compromise be to do an all-inclusive poll and then release the data and allow people to figure out separate "house only" or "techno only" rankings by throwing out shit they don't like?

don't see why some m.i.a. couldn't be considered if someone wanted. pull up the people rather than than paper planes, for example

i think part of the point of a nominations process is to exclude tracks that don't meet the criteria at this stage, and by "don't meet the criteria" i'd say anything where the nominator is obviously stretching a point. UKG etc. are fine in this context imo cos at least one of their ancestors is Detroit.

inner city and fingers inc were bands too!!

edits are really sticky territory

i really have no desire to be a gatekeeper or editor, i'm down to tabulate and do logistical stuff but deciding why theo's ugly edits or soul clap's garbage edits make the cut but magnetic man is (as obama put it) "above my pay grade"

maybe shd set a threshhold based on BPM

"why magnetic man *doesn't* is"

Wouldn't have thought the dntel remix would place for superpitcher, too many other better tracks.

but they're electronic bands. whereas rapture and lcd are more like rock/indie bands to me.

there's probably only around a hundred - should have just listed them all in the OP would have all the important ones mostly

uh not sure that bpm thing is a good rule

FWIW i think it would be much much much much much better to

1) quit bitching

2) nominate your tracks

3) look at the final list

4) investigate tracks you think are suspect

5) resume the bitchfest about it *after* people nominate stuff you don't like

afaict everything nominated so far is more or less kosher so let's give the process the benefit of the doubt for now and get on with it, we can draw lines in the sand later

think most of them are already here but i think we forgetting something - what we forgetting man?

lb bad - the true story of house music

oops didnt notice it said 00s

replace with

craig alexander - soul revival

not sure what you're saying coal but if you think you know the top 100 tracks already you're welcome to nominate them here

ok let's start

sorry, the BPM thing was a half-joke tbh. was just bristling at M.I.A.

not sure what you're saying coal but if you think you know the top 100 tracks already you're welcome to nominate them here
