Im sitting here right now at my computer - wondering what really is thee greatest trance tune ever??

Right now I think Solid Sessions - Janeiro (Armin Van Buuren remix) Is just unbelievbale - the lyrics are so amazing. So powerful. Just awesome :)!

Just wondering what other peoples opinions are??
 
Silence
Carte Blanche
Papua New Guinea
Age of Love
Cafe Del Mar
Suburban Train
No Good (Start the Dance)
For an Angel
Greece 2000
Ayla
Madagascar
1998
1999
Gouryella
Saltwater
Out of the Blue
Adagio for Strings
Synaesthesia
Airwave
Southern Sun
As the Rush Comes
Damaged
Satellite
Need to Feel Loved

So in answer, no idea. Any day you ask me the answer will probably be one of the above.
 
I'm not a big fan of trance (although I do recognise most of those Gilly posted) but Motorcyle - As The Rush Comes is presently taking up an inordinate amount of time on my playlists.
 
Gilly just about sums it up, but I'll add:

Signum - What Ya Got For Me
Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade
Quench - Dreams
Universal Nation - Push
Agnelli & Nelson - El Nino
 
add these to gilly's

blank & jones -cream
olive - your not alone
lost witness -happiness
freefall - skydive
lost tribe - gamemaster
 
I dont think I can single handedly put my hand on ONE track. Theres far too many. Over the past decade there have been some absolutely astonishing tracks made, far far too many for me to single out one.
Gillys list goes some way to identfying some of the most well known tracks of the decade.
 
I own the Classic Trance Nation compilation. I really recommend getting as it has about 80-90% of all these mentioned. It is a brilliant compilation, really boosted my interest in trance.
 
I think Gilly has cover most of them, but off the top of my head without digging into iTunes:-

Angelic - Its My Turn
Hybrid - Finished Symphony
Matt Darey - Beautiful
System F - Cry
System F - Out of the Blue (Wicked tune, reminds me of Human Traffic :) )

EDIT: Few more that spring to mind

Darude - Sandstorm
Paul Oakenfold - Three drives on a vinyl
Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel

Parker & Clind - Generator - http://www.htfr.com/playlist/?catno=MR227169
Commander Tom - Are Am Eye - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfF2azLElXo
Binary Finary 1998 - Matt Darey Remix closely followed buy the Gourella 1999 remix
Freefall - Skydive - very special tune this one.
Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea
The Orb - Little Fluff Clouds
Orbital - Lush 3.1
PVD - Avenues
Syntax - Pray - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmVtnKKnOmE Massive massive vocal track - just huge
PVD - Cream - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiejgZxcG0o

But in my opinion there is one really stand out track that blows them all away:

JOHN DIGWEED - HEAVEN SCENT - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIXbEugdMAo - Just massive chills every time I hear it.

ah Future Sound of London, proabably my most listened to music.

Yeah I used to listen to them quite a bit, I've been listening to Syntax, Gabriel & Dresden and some other similar ones more recently but you can't beat the classic trance masters - FSOL, The Orb, Orbital, Energy 52, Marmion, LSG, Three Drives, Medway, PVD, Laurant Garnier, Dr Motte, Speedy J, Salt Tank, Eat Static and another personal favourite HardFloor.
