DJ in local club used to play that 15 years back. Had to sit through hours of Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi to bounce onto the floor for that few minutes. And if we were really lucky, he'd put on Prodigy's 'Fire' too.

At the night club I went to, it was the opposite thank god. The DJ always finished with A Home Boy a Hippy and a Funky dread's "Here we go again" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ0_9MNzdxw followed by Tall Paul's "Rok da house" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnC36WbpoVU

What a list!!

Krome n Time (the original) and Acen's tunes are for me the definition of hardcore rave, the pinnacle of that genre. Breakbeats and hoovers everywhere! Don't know of any other music with so much energy in it, wouuld nearly leave you exhausted listening to them!

Entec

The Black Dog - Virtual (Black Dog Productions)

Quadrophonia - Theme of Quadrophonia (1991)

REACT 2 RHYTHM - Intoxication (Clubfield Mix)

Lionrock - Lionrock ( 1992 )

Sil - Blue Oyster

big time, Rave/Hardcore is groundbreaking music, you simply cannot beat the feeling of being a big **** off Rave in some warehouse or aircraft hangar or in a field and thunderous breakbeats, ravey stabs and hoovers blearing out, in all my years raving out of all genres ive never see a crowd go as nuts as ive have to Rave/Hardcore, as you said the energy is incredible.:)

Ddisco

Ivory - Give us an E
Altern 8 - Come with Me
Utah Saints - What can you do for me
Lords of Acid - Take Control
Spiral Tribe - Breach the Peace

Jello

Not the biggest old skool fan but I'm really loving this track:

T99 - Anasthasia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjxc91MUuAI

Frequency by Altern8 is another classic and I love most of The Prodigy's old skool stuff too.
