Greatest Electronic Tracks of the 21st Century


Bahamut

Recommended Posts

Top 10 of electronic TRACKS, released in this century (and no rereleases of older music).

No genre limitations.

Just post your personal favorites, so don't try to be 'objective' about what is best (because that's ultimately BS IMO).

I'm working on mine. Go go go!

Okey, reminded me of a VERY dry joke one guy told me once, and if you really are not into BAD jokes, dont read the following:

 

There is a guy that walks through the desert, and then suddenly he sees a turtle, so he walks up to it and it says:

 

"no no noooo"

 

The guy walks away, since he needs to find some water... however he walks and walks and sees this turtle again and the turtle still is going "no nooo nooooooo"

 

He shakes his head and goes away, cause he REALLY needs some water...

 

2 hours later, he bumps into the turtle again, and the turtle is still going "NO NOOO NOOOOO!" so he goes to ask him -"whats the problem turtle?!"

Turtle goes -"noo noooo nooooo, so much sand and not a bucket in sight!"

 

Anyways, I feel like the turtle, so much music, and not possible to actually make up my mind (not really like the turtle, but yeah... WHATEVER!) :lol:

 

So, You made it through the joke?!

 

Well, i am sorry!
