The best tune ever?

Seeing as we have a 'best album' thread, and plenty of genre splitting 'best electro' or 'best house' ones, and the odd 'best dj' threads, I can't see a general best tune ever one. I appreciate that its very difficult, and for me it will change almost daily, but if you had to nominate the best what would it be and why?

Think I'd go with this one, Path 4 taken from the Lifeforms EP by the Future Sound of London...15 years old now and still perfection, the build up after 2.20, the driving breat, the vocal, plenty have come close, I've preferred other tunes every now and again, but every time I hear this I still love it...

Couldn't possibly narrow it down really, couldn't even tell you what the best tune in my bag was right now...

Best tune for what? For when? Sometimes you get a bigger reaction out of a tune that you're really nervous about playing than the you get out of the tune you had squirreled away in the back of your bag to play if all else fails, or out of the biggest tune around at the time; sometimes an oldschool anthem that gives you shivers down your back clears the dancefloor; sometimes the deepest tune you have has three sweaty pill heads calling for a rewind...

Digital - "Sax Dub" has never failed me though; first time I played it out it got rewound three times.

i hate these threads because i would be very suprised if anybody could pick one tune to be their fav of all time.

still gives me goose bumps

Fintomiginto

For me it has to be Corrado "Trust" (Pink Mix)

Euphoric Brilliance.

Its impossible to get on 12" aswell which gives it more kudos.

I want this played at my funeral :pac:

These threads are nothing but an excuse for a trip down memory lane...times change, music changes and anybody who is remotely into their music couldn't possibly single out one track as their "best tune ever".

Ah but you are wrong...

Edit - I feel slightly ill after about 30 seconds of that.

Scubadevils

I think if I was forced at gunpoint by Conor74 and he is shouting in a heavy Kerry accent 'pick a fckin tune you jackeen bollix or your fckin dead you Dublin piece of sh*t' - I'd have to reluctantly pick 'Intensities (In-Ten-Cities) by Slam - the flip side to Positive Education for those who may not know...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbCvlbnN9ig

Although he probably end up having to shoot me as I start to call out other names immediately after... it really is impossible to pick 100, let alone 1!

Henrik_is_God

This isnt actually the mix I remember but you'll know it when you hear it

mid 90's classic !!! Skip to 3:13 if you don't recognise it

Well good for you then. Pat yourself on the back and the rest of us who are not 'remotely into our music' can indulge in a little harmless speculating and selecting.

That's exactly it, it's a bit of harmless thread and I'm not asking anyone like acman to make their case on a sworn affidavit...though I should point out that the Kerry accent is a very cultured one...

Excellent Choice, gets my most underated and underplayed vote, heard dollard play it a few times in sides dc.

I'm gonna go with .................

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic2Q-G0BEFQ

Ask me tommorow and i'll prolly say something different (ron trent - altered state)

Who is gonna mix all these up when were finished ????????

Scubadevils

Yeah highly underrated, I suppose overshadowed by Positive Education which would probably have a broader appeal.

Song of Life also a really great track, have a softer spot though for Cut For Life as it was that bit more bangin!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EASzPSgUng

And yes I could also say Altered States tomorrow, and maybe Smokebelch II (David Holmes Mix) the next day

mcmc

Mistress Barbara - Barcelona:):):):)
Love it!!

Meh i dont know how to embed youtube

While I can't say it's the best tune that I've ever heard, the location and circumstances around when I first heard it put it right up there. Still sounds brilliant.

I'm going to throw these two into the mix for the same reasons

Orbital - Nothing Left [Breeder Remix]

Hybrid - Finished Symphony
