detroit techno is the true techno imo. a lot of the vids posted here border on trance, pop techno, progressive house, breakbeat/bigbeat, and crap(rockets theme song). see saintja2's post for a bit of what i mean as true techno. it's like if someone asked what is good country and everyone replied Billy Rae Cyrus. or what is good hip hop and everyone said Vanilla Ice. a lot of ppl need to really like electronic music in general to have a taste for techno. and a lot of techno needs to be mixed by a DJ. it isn't like something you really want to sit down and listen to 12 minutes at a time from beginning to end. you really have to go to a party or club when a good DJ is there. none of those Roxy dress to impress places. i dunno what clubs are around havent been back to houston in 6 years. but tokyo rocks. some nice clips and some live. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aFwrYKiNns4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aFwrYKiNns4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> this one is prog house kinda tech house. great track <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LuPWPTfOeHQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LuPWPTfOeHQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> techno God Derrick May <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d9_ENp-CjBY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d9_ENp-CjBY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> richie hawtin and ali dubfire crazy <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RoBbTCnktzk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RoBbTCnktzk&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> jeff mills spinning Ame Rej.

Fair enough. ;-) I don't like techno, but there are a few songs here and there that I confess to liking. Here's one of 'em. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8MZmPoPvJYE&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8MZmPoPvJYE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

This is all dance music, not techno. Basic rule of thumb is that if it got vocals, lyrics, and a chorus, it's dance music.
