100 Greatest Trance Songs

Criteria: Songs listed are based on impact, influence, and popularity.

Description: Trance music is a subgenre within dance/electronic music. It is characterized by beautiful melodies or long, repetitive hypnotic beats (hence the name trance) and has an ancient-ethereal-tribal or churchy feel. Early trance was closely related to the techno and acid scenes. However, it soon began to be more melodic and vocal, using strings, pianos, etc., and relied on a build-tension-release formula. Trance music's roots lie primarily in techno, house, and EBM. Songs listed are based on impact, influence, and popularity.
