Best Trance Of All Time

I started listening to trance when I was in highschool, around 2000-2001. I don’t remember what my first trance song i’d listened to was, but my earliest memories of trance would be ATB and the Trancemaster series. During the 2001-2002 (don’t quote me here) era vocal trance was emerging and pushing the genre out from underground and into the mainstream. Pure trance enthusiasts would say that vocals have no place in trance – I like vocals, but I have a strong preference for anthem and classic trance. This is why i’ve created 2 lists – one for pure classic anthems and another for more recent tunes that I think will never go out of fashion.

This list represents what I think trance is all about. I don’t claim to be an expert at all – this list is merely to share what I think are some excellent timeless trance tracks. The tracks on this list of best trance of all time, will never get old and never become repetitive in my opinion. Here it is, in no particular order because I think they’re all awesome tunes that belong in any trance fans library. Grab them at the highest quality you can – they’ll be worth the file size.
