10 Best Dance Albums of All Time

[simonr]

Re: 10 Best Dance Albums of All Time

My list will just look silly:

It got to 8 x CD's just with these :

Sasha - GU013 Ibiza & GU009 San Fran
John Digweed - GU019 Los Angeles & GU014 Hong Kong
Sasha & Digweed - Northern Exposure 1-3 & Communicate

Plus from the GU series alone there's also Paul Oakenfold - GU007 New York, Save Seaman 012 Buenos Aires and Danny Howells 027 Miami.

Then I love all Hernan's releases, with South America being a big standout but it's hard to picke between the Masters and Sequentials.

Bedrock: Jimmy Van M, Chris Fortier and DJ Sawa.

Transitions - 4, then 2, then 1, then 3.

Sander Kleinenbergs NuBreed and Joris Voorn's Balance are both timeless.

^^ Need to think how I can get this list near 10.
