Anyway, a few important things about the Dance Music Hall Of Fame: (not that you'll bother to read it...)
Any song is included as long as it can be considered a piece of ELECTRONIC music; many of the songs here are a mix of several sub-genres, some of which aren't electronic (i.e. rock, hip-hop) but contain enough influences of electronic music to be considered here.
Of course I have only included the songs which I like, however commercial or underground the appeal is.
The songs are ordered in they years in which they were first released (in the UK), instead of peak chart position. This is mainly because the majority of the songs failed to hit the chart or originally came out years before they actually did hit the chart - more important it gives the correct year the songs were produced so you can be amazed by how old they are. For some songs there is one famous or (my) favourite mix, which has been included in the brackets after the title.
Click on the bold italic links for a brief description of the song in my favourite electronic music section.
Most of the stuff which appears here are songs that I have on my MP3 player and are therefore ones which I listen to a lot, so I think it's fair to say that if I listen to them a lot, they pass the "seminal piece of electronic music" test!
