Not 1 single Rave/Hardcore tune included which beggars belief reallyill vote anyway as there are some amazing tunage there but it's shocking that there is no Hardcore tunage included.

It beggars belief really, Rave/Hardcore in 1991 and 1992 was, in the UK absolutely massive,much bigger than any other genre at that time,i wasn't expecting to see obscure white labels or the likes included but they could've at least included the more popular Hardcore tunage from artists like Prodigy,Altern-8, Acen and the likes.

Bar a handfull of tracks, that list is a disgrace. It certainly has all gone Pete Tong if that's the best he can come up with.

Phoenix Park

I agree. Poor list. So many "mainstream" tracks. There are so many more underground tunes over the years that people of all genres would love imo. Of the list itself, think Robin S show me love and Pete Heller's Big Love are liked by almost everyone. Ditto Da Funk. Soft spot for Doomsnight.
No Killahertz West on 27th?. Needin U on the list is crazy.

Suppose this is to be expected by Radio 1 but even by their standards this is shocking, no Hardcore, ,etc,etc.

Shouldn't really bother but i feel the urge to fire across an email to Radio 1 telling them as such (not that it'll make any difference like)

Lads, that list is created with mass appeal in mind so the list is about reaching the broadest possible listenership. It is the same as Robbie 'elbowface' Williams winng "Best Single of the Past Twenty-Five Years" at the 2005 BRIT Awards. Absolutely insane!

But sadly there is another reason why there is no hardcore on that list and that is because it is, in the main, the aural equivalent of licking dog sh!t off your shoe...

Surprised to see no Moby, Orbital or The Orb in there. Otherwise as predictable as you would expect really...

Sorry if this sounds a tad blunt ................ but would ya ever go n fook off!!! Tiesto is a self serving pr1ck and did he fook invent Dubstep lol he put the T back in Techno did he? jaysus I never got to hear any 'echno' over the years :rolleyes: musta been $hit though if it took Testiclo to put the 'T' back into it. if he's the Tzar of Trance then it must be Franz Ferdinand so hoepfully history will repeat itself!! .... the emporer of electro (he can have that one - it's a $hit tag) hopefully the 'new genres' he's quietly developing will be 'Silence' or 'Decomposition' , he's a fookin $hit stain on the discarded kacks of true DJ's , the tosser of techno, the twat of trance,the eczema of electro ...the boil on the ar$e of the art of DJ'ing......a twiddling 'knob' jockey.

......wait a minute, are you been sarcastic?

and for the record there's a reason they coined the phrase "it's all gone Pete Tong" and it wasnt just for the rhyming slang lol I think aul Pete been there at the forefront musta mislaid his mind somewhere at a gig over the years n never got it back! ....maybe spent one too many summers in Ibiza.

I thought that meself, i plumped for "Everybody in the place" .... it's a seriously weak a$$ list to chose from , a TOTP type list lol

holy_macaroni

teisto went for the commercial side of things.targeting kids.for cd sales, but i honestly think if he didnt.he"d still be ****.if a good list was made up.to sum up the best of dance.theyrd be alot of ppl who wouldnt know any of them.the title says it all...bbc radio-1 pete thong.what radio plays you will listen and you will like.most people just dont know any better

Totally agree with you on the first point re: twato ......but in fairness BBC Radio 1 wasnt all bad bitd and in his earler days Pete T was at the forefront bringing the detroit house sound to the UK & Ireland mid to late 80's and then the acid house & rave explosion , they did regular stints of decent DJ sets live & studio mixes in the early days......but like all mainstream radio stations it got seriously diluted as the years rolled by and it all went commercial..... sure ya could never beat tuning into a pirate station to get the real good stuff!

holy_macaroni

i never tuned into the station maself.just judgin it on that list.more bad than good.actually very little good tracks on that.im sure they did play some good stuff.but id say majority was crap, never liked pete tong or any dj in his category.they all go for the commercial side for the big bucks,not saying anything wrong with that.but if uve a rep to uphold as a good dj who plays good tracks,that wudnt be road to go down,which i certainly wouldnt if i was a famous dj.thats besides that if i did,those tracks would do my head in,never mind any1 elses whos listening to them.
kariya let me love you for tonight,is best 1 on the list for me,im surprised its mixed in with those other tracks, but then again,it was a big hit in 88,

You are bang on there mate... And there are so many styles of dance music, it could never be narrowed down to an agreeable 20.

That goes for every style of music...its unreal the ****e people will listen to these days, just because its getting hammered out on the radio ten times a day

tdv123

Yeah its a pretty bad list alright. Still would have expected a bit better even it was Radio 1.

Went for Cafe Del Mar in the end assuming they mean the original eye q release.
