how can you have a list of top techno w/o including the most successful techno group to date Daft Punk? I know One More Time should have sooo been on there if the list is based on popularity and not one person's top songs from a genre he has awful taste in.

ya know you kinda nailed it on the whole 90's alternative top list but seriously this techno list makes me want to vomit. Have you ever even been to a club..do you know what a rave is? Seriously and utterly disappointed..im with everybody else. If you're goin to name top 50 pop techno..then yeah darude, prodigy, and hell yeah some sneaker pimps would def. be better than ace of base. ACE OF BASE..YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! Oh and what about the god of all dj's paul van dyk?!?

you really should add "insomnia" by faithless to that. also "born slippy" underworld... ok it's not techno... but i'm assuming by "techno" you really mean "electronic" right? oh, and you need to get some chemical brothers and daft punk on that list.... some classic electro. this is a horribly commercial list of pretty average songs.

I love it how people are so quick to mock other peoples tastes in music...like their's is the correct taste. There are no right and wrong opinions people, and what most people call bad music, is often ok music, they just dont like it. Big difference.

Good to see jellyhead on there. I love that song

plus there is skepticism of course b/c music genres overlap and new stuff is comin out all the time but honestly originators would be credited to few tiesto for widespread popularity and the muscial vehicle trance operates on, armin van buuren for taking tiesto further benny invented the flanged and pulse bass and is a trademark of his music jean michael jarre is the french revolutionary who is a master synth player which there are few so dont bitch study your music before u comment dont fuck with my shit

NJ's Finest - Techno? IP:64.20.154.43 | 2008-03-14 18:05:23
Drew, Techno is the form of using synthesizers, midi tracks, loops, sinusodial waves, equilizers, and basslines to create music. Techno is a huge broad base genre, like rock, there is alternative rock, grindcore, metal etc same with techno. so yes i do know what techno is, if i didnt i wouldnt DJ.
Skweez idk if your posting on topic of my thred but if u were those are not artists and TRC thanks for the props. just tryin to inform people whats goin on in the electronic world.

I'v been to a few raves in the past couple years and there are no songs on that list that could possibly make a rave fun. Tiesto is the shit, along with Benni Benassi and Crystal method. Im more for the build up songs, not the same beat the entire song!

A lot of good songs but a lot of them are pop not techno. To much stuff from the 90's. What do you have like every ace of base song ever made? Classic techno is great but don't forget the new guys like Darude and Daft Punk who deserve to be there.

i agree with NJ, if you use *techno*logy to make the music as opposed to instruments, it can be called techno. its a general term. also.. to KAT.. you said "Sandstorm Vs Zombie Nation Vs Darude"... um.. Sandstorm is a song by Darude.
